What does Mark 14:57-59 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

These verses provide a specific example of what Mark just described generally. Evidently the witnesses misunderstood Jesus" statements about the destruction of the temple (Gr. naos, temple building) of His body ( John 2:19) and the future destruction of the Jerusalem temple ( Mark 13:2). Anyone who destroyed a temple in the ancient world was subject to capital punishment (cf. Jeremiah 26:1-19). ^[1] This was evidently one of the most serious charges against Jesus (cf. Mark 14:61; Mark 15:29).
