Did Jesus Resurrect Himself? — John 2:19
Based on John 2:19, it is claimed that Jesus resurrected himself, but many scriptures say God the Father resurrected Jesus. Did Jesus resurrect himself? Let’s consider the immediate context in which Jesus spoke at John 2:19, as well as the remote context of the entire Bible.
John 2:19-21 —“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days’ . . . the temple he had spoken of was his body” (NIV), referring to his death. Trinitarians claim Jesus resurrected himself, but how could that be? Did Jesus actually say that he would resurrect himself?
