Context of Mark 13:3

1Then Jesus left the temple. While he was leaving, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Teacher, look at these great buildings! The stones in the walls of God's House are really great!’ 2Jesus said to him, ‘Yes, look at all these large buildings! But I tell you, enemies will completely destroy them. Not even one stone will remain on top of another stone.’ After that, Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives. He could look across the valley at the temple. Peter, James, John and Andrew went together to talk with him. The crowd was not there. 4They said to Jesus, ‘Please tell us when all these things will happen. What will show us that they will soon happen?’ 5Jesus began to say to them, ‘Be careful! Some people will tell you things that are not true. Do not believe those people.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-4Andrew appeared here with the trio, Peter, James, and John (5:37; 9:2; 14:33) completing the two sets of brothers (1:16–20; 3:16–18).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33.
