Marc 13:2

2 Jésus lui répondit: Vois-tu ces grandes constructions? Il ne restera pas pierre sur pierre qui ne soit renversée.

Marc 13:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:2

And Jesus answering said unto him
The Persic version reads, "unto them"; and so Beza's most ancient copy but as that question is put by one, the reply is made to him:

seest thou these great buildings?
how beautiful and strong they are. The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, add the word all; and the sense is, dost thou take a survey of all these buildings, and of the whole of this stately edifice? and dost thou not admire the strength and grandeur of them? and dost thou not think they will be of long duration, and that the demolition of them is scarcely possible?

There shall not be left one stone upon another.
The Syriac and Arabic versions add, "here": as in ( Matthew 24:9 ) , and so it is read in four of Beza's copies, and in others:

that shall not be thrown down; (See Gill on Matthew 24:2).

Marc 13:2 In-Context

1 Lorsque Jésus sortit du temple, un de ses disciples lui dit: Maître, regarde quelles pierres, et quelles constructions!

2 Jésus lui répondit: Vois-tu ces grandes constructions? Il ne restera pas pierre sur pierre qui ne soit renversée.

3 Il s'assit sur la montagne des oliviers, en face du temple. Et Pierre, Jacques, Jean et André lui firent en particulier cette question:

4 Dis-nous, quand cela arrivera-t-il, et à quel signe connaîtra-t-on que toutes ces choses vont s'accomplir?

5 Jésus se mit alors à leur dire: Prenez garde que personne ne vous séduise.
