Context of Mark 13:3

1As Jesus was going out of the temple courtyard, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these huge stones and these beautiful buildings!” 2Jesus said to him, “Do you see these large buildings? Not one of these stones will be left on top of another. Each one will be torn down.” As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives facing the temple buildings, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4“Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when all this will come to an end?” 5Jesus answered them, “Be careful not to let anyone deceive you.
