Contextual Overview

53They took Jesus to the main preacher's house where a bunch of the people who had plotted against him were gathered. 54Pete had circled around and followed them, but at a safe distance. He snuck into the yard and sat down with some of the night guard and warmed himself by the fire like nothing was going on. 55Inside the house, all the people who had the authority to make decisions were trying to find evidence of guilt so they could kill Jesus. 56Many people came and made false accusations against him, but they kept contradicting themselves with their testimonies and none of them could be used. 57Finally, a few men stood up and lied as they said, 58"We heard Jesus say he would destroy the main church and replace it three days later with one built by God himself." 59It sounded good, but they couldn't get their facts straight when questioned. 60The main preacher spoke up and asked Jesus, "What do you have to say about all of this? What do you have to say for yourself?" 61Jesus stood there, silent and stoic. The preacher then asked, "Are you the Chosen One? Are you the Son of God himself?"With words that held the power of God, 62Jesus said, "I AM . . . and you all should know it. Soon, you will see me sitting at the right hand of God himself and riding on the clouds of heaven."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

We heard him say,.... In a discourse of his, recorded in John 2:19:

I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands; which was a very false testimony; for Christ did not say be would destroy any temple at all, only put the Jews on doing it; much less did he point at, or design the temple of Jerusalem, but his own body; nor did he use the distinction of a temple, made with and without hands; nor did he affirm that he would build another; only said, he would raise up in three days, that which they should destroy. By this testimony these witnesses would suggest, that Christ had a design upon their temple to demolish it, and that he must be a sorcerer, or a magician, to pretend to build a temple without hands in three days time;
