Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Then
the
Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this
temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" But He
was
speaking of the temple of His body. Therefore, when He had
risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had
said this to them; and they beleived the Scripture and the
word which Jesus had said.
NWT
In answer Jesus said to them: "Break down
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Therefore the Jews said: "This temple was built in
forty-six
years, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he was
talking about the temple of his body. When, though, he was
raised up from the dead, his disciples called to mind that
he used to say this; and they believed the Scripture and
the
saying that Jesus said.

glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be
glorified
through it."

the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by
this

the sister of the deceased, said to him: "Lord, by now he
must smell, for he has been dead four days."

and let him go."
LUKE 24:36-43
NKJV
Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself
stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to
you." But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed
they had seen a spirit. And He said to them, "Why are you
troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? "Behold
My
hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see,
for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I
have." When He had said this, He showed them His hands and
His feet. But while they still did not believe for joy,
and
marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?" So
they
gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. And
He took it and ate in their presence.
NWT
While they were speaking of these things he
himself stood in their midst and said to them: "May you
have
peace." But because they were terrified, and had become
frightened, they were imagining they beheld a spirit. So
he
said to them: "Why are you troubled, and why is it doubts
come up in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it
is
I myself; feel me and see, because a spirit does not have
flesh and bones just as you behold that I have." And as he
said this he showed them his hands and his feet. But while
they were still not believing for sheer joy and were
wondering, he said to them: "Do you have something there
to
eat?" And they handed him a piece of broiled fish; and he
took it and ate it before their eyes.
LUKE 24:46
NKJV
Then He said to them, "Thus it is written,
and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to
rise from the dead the third day,
NWT
and he said to them: "In this way it is
written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the
dead
on the third day,
JOHN 20:19-20
NKJV
Then, the same day at evening, being the
first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the
disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with
you." Now when He said this, He showed them His hands and
His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the
Lord.
NWT
Therefore, when it was late on that day, the
first of the week, and, although the doors were locked
where
the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and
stood in their midst and said to them: "May you have
peace."
And after he said this he showed them both his hands and
his
side. Then the disciples rejoiced at seeing the Lord.
JOHN 20:24-29
NKJV
But Thomas, called Didymus, one of the
twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other
disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord."
But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print
of
the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not
believe." And after eight days His disciples were again
inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being
shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"
Then
He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My
hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side.
Do
not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered
and
said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him,
"Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed."
NWT
But Thomas, one of the twelve, who was
called The Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
Consequently the other disciples would say to him: "We
have
seen the Lord!" But he said to them: "Unless I see in his
hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the
print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, I will
certainly not believe." Well, eight days later his
disciples
were again indoors, and Thomas with them. Jesus came,
although the doors were locked, and he stood in their
midst
and said: "May you have peace." Next he said to Thomas:
"Put
your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and
stick it into my side, and stop being unbelieving but
become
believing." In answer Thomas said to him: "My Lord and my
God!" Jesus said to him: "Because you have seen me have
you
believed? Happy are those who do not see and yet believe."
WHO RAISED
HIM FROM THE DEAD
ACTS 2:24
NKJV
"whom God raised up, having loosed the pains
of death, because it was not possible that he should be
held
by it.
NWT
But God resurrected him by loosing the pangs
of death, because it was not possible for him to continue
to
be held fast by it.
JOHN 10:17-18
NKJV
"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay
down My life that I may take it again. "No one takes it
from
Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it
down, and I have power to take it again. This command I
have
received from My Father."
NWT
This is why the Father loves me, because I
surrender my soul, in order that I may receive it again.
No
man has taken it away from me, but I surrender it of my
own
initiative. I have authority to surrender it, and I have
authority to receive it again. The commandment on this I
received from my Father."
ROMANS 8:11
NKJV
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His
Spirit who dwells in you.
NWT
If, now, the spirit of him that raised up
Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up
Christ
Jesus from the dead will also make your mortal bodies
alive
through his spirit that resides in you.
JOHN 2:19
NKJV
Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
NWT
In answer Jesus said to them: "Break down
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
ISAIAH 9:6
NKJV
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son
is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And
His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
NWT
For there has been a child born to us, there
has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will
come
to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of
Peace.
