Default The temple...jesus's body or the actual Jewish temple?

Hello.

When Jesus said he would destroy the temple and raise it in 3 days...did he mean his body or the actual temple. I always figured it was the actual temple, but now im being told his body...

The bible seems to say his body, but others say it was the physical temple...and it was destroyed when some cloth was ripped or something.

Of the four gospels, only John, as the most metaphysical (and most gnostic) says it was "his body". So, pick your poison.
