Context of Mark 13:4

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.’ 3After 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. They 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. 6Many people will say that they have come on my behalf. They will say, “I am the Messiah!” and they will deceive many people.
