you will raise it up in three days?
This remark appears in the form of a question to show that the Jewish authorities understand that Jesus wants to tear down the temple and build it again in three days. "Raise" is an idiom for "establish." AT: "you will establish it in three days?" or "you cannot possibly rebuild it in three days!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
