Origen,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, Origen on John…
(1885)
“ And every one who is of this nature, Jesus purifying him, [1] puts away things that are irrational and things that savour of selling, to be destroyed on account of the zeal of the Logos that is in Him. But they are destroyed to be raised again by Jesus, not on the third day, if we attend to the exact words before us, but “in three days.” For the rising again of the temple takes place on the first day after it has been destroyed and on the second day, and its resurrection is accomplished in all the three days. ”
