Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple

1 Then aas He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”  
2 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? aNot one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”  

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, aPeter, bJames, cJohn, and dAndrew asked Him privately,  
4 a“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

Mark 13:1

What manner of stones - The stones here referred to were those used in the building of the temple, and the walls on the sides of Mount Moriah, on which the temple stood. The temple was constructed of white marble, and the blocks were of a prodigious size. Josephus says that these stones were, some of them, 50 feet long, 24 feet broad, and 16 feet in thickness.
