John 2:20
Douay-Rheims
The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
Francis Patrick Kenrick
This is supposed by some to have been the time occupied in the repairing, or rebuilding of it, under Herod the Great, which commenced in the eighteenth year of his reign, and was continued after his death ; but others consider it an exaggerated statement of the time spent in re- building the temple under Zorobabel.
