But dangerous as was the charge, it broke down. The statements of the witnesses did not tally, and their testimony was therefore worthless. Their memories had travelled over three years to the occasion of the first Passover at Jerusalem and the first cleansing of the Temple. But they perverted the real facts of the case (Joh 2:18-22<\/span>). St Mark alone notices the disagreement of their testimony. “The differences between the recorded words of our Lord and the reports of the witnesses are striking: ‘ I can destroy<\/em> ’ (Mat 26:61<\/span>); ‘ I will destroy<\/em> ’ (Mar 14:58<\/span>); as compared with ‘ Destroy and I will raise<\/em> ’ (Joh 2:19<\/span>).” Westcott’s Introduction<\/em>, p. 326 n.<\/p>\n 59.
