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?”  
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: a“Take heed that no one deceives you.  
6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and akingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines1 and troubles. bThese are the beginnings of sorrows.  
9 “But awatch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will1 be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.  
10 And athe gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

Mark 13:3

And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, over against the temple—On their way from Jerusalem to Bethany they would cross Mount Olivet; on its summit He seats Himself, over against the temple, having the city all spread out under His eye. How graphically is this set before us by our Evangelist!

Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately—The other Evangelists tell us merely that "the disciples" did so. But Mark not only says that it was four of them, but names them; and they were the first quarternion of the Twelve.
