John 2:21

But the temple (the place where God dwells) he was talking about was his body.
[The first temple was built in 953 BC by Solomon. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC when the Jews were taken into captivity. Seventy years later, the second temple was built. Herod the Great began an extensive renovation and expansion in 19 BC. When Jesus visited the temple, the work had been going on for 46 years, but it was not completed until 63 AD, just seven years before it was destroyed in 70 AD.
These three verses use the Greek word naos for temple. It refers to the place where God dwells. In the temple, it was the innermost courtyard and the Holy of Holies, but Jesus also uses the word about himself – Jesus is the Son of God.]
