Context of Matthew 24:1

As Jesus left the temple courtyard and was walking away, his disciples came to him. They proudly pointed out to him the temple buildings. 2Jesus said to them, “You see all these buildings, don’t you? I can guarantee this truth: Not one of these stones will be left on top of another. Each one will be torn down.” 3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign that you are coming again, and when will the world come to an 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.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1And Jesus went out - He was going over to the Mount of Olives, Matthew 24:3.
