Mateo 24:2

Listen to Mateo 24:2
2 Mas respondiendo El, les dijo: ¿Veis todo esto? En verdad os digo: no quedará aquí piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.

Mateo 24:2 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:2

And Jesus said unto them, see ye not all these things?
&c.] "These great buildings", as in Mark; all these goodly stones, so beautiful and large, and so firmly put together: verily, I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown down;
or broken, as Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads it: which prediction had a full and remarkable accomplishment; and which is not only attested by Josephus F25, who relates, that both the city and temple were dug up, and laid level with the ground; but also by other Jewish writers; who tell us F26 that

``on the ninth of Ab, a day prepared for punishments, Turnus Rufus the wicked, (lkyhh ta vrx) , "ploughed up the temple", and all round about it, to fulfil what is said, "Zion shall be ploughed as a field".''
Yes, and to fulfil what Christ here says too, that not one stone should be left upon another, which a plough would not admit of.

Mateo 24:2 In-Context

1 Cuando salió Jesús del templo, y se iba, se le acercaron sus discípulos para mostrarle los edificios del templo.
2 Mas respondiendo El, les dijo: ¿Veis todo esto? En verdad os digo: no quedará aquí piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.
3 Y estando El sentado en el monte de los Olivos, se le acercaron los discípulos en privado, diciendo: Dinos, ¿cuándo sucederá esto, y cuál será la señal de tu venida y de la consumación de este siglo?
4 Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Mirad que nadie os engañe.
5 Porque muchos vendrán en mi nombre, diciendo: "Yo soy el Cristo", y engañarán a muchos.
