Context of Matthew 24:1

Jesus left the temple. While he was leaving, his disciples came to him. They began to talk to him about the buildings of the temple. 2So Jesus said to them, ‘Yes, you can see all these beautiful buildings now. But I tell you this: 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. While he was alone, his disciples came to him. They said to him, ‘Please tell us when all these things will happen. Also tell us what will show us that you will soon return? What will show us that the world will soon end?’

Commentaries on Matthew 24:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1And Jesus went out, and departed from, the temple - Or, And Jesus, going out of the temple, was going away.

The Jews say the temple was built of white and green-spotted marble. See Lightfoot. Josephus says the stones were white and strong; fifty feet long, twenty-four broad, and sixteen thick. Antiq. b. 15…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1And Jesus went out - He was going over to the Mount of Olives, Matthew 24:3.
