Context of Luke 21:6

4For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her poverty hath cast in all the living that she had. 5And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them.
