That this is the true interpretation, will be made further evident to any impartial person, by reading the context preceding, and following.
Jo.ch.ii.v.18.

"The Jews said to Jesus, what sign showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

The Jews answered, saying, forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou build it in three days ?" The Jews could never have spoken these words, here related; for the temple then standing was built by Herod, who reigned but thirty-seven years, and built it in eight years.

This, therefore, must be a blunder of the Evangelist's.
Jo.xiii.v.21.Jesus says to his Disciples, "a new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another." This is not true, for the love of man towards his neighbour, was not a new precept, but at least as ancient as Moses, who gives it, Levit.xix.as the command of God, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Acts vii.v.4.

"When he (Abraham) went out of the land of the Chaldees, he dwelt in Charran; from thence after his father was dead, he led him into this land in which ye dwell." This directly contradicts the chapter in Genesis where the story of Abraham's leaving Haran is related; for it is certain from thence, that Abraham left his father Terah in Haran alive, when he departed thence.
