Luke 21:6

6 "Do you see all this? The time will come when not one stone will be left on top of another. Every stone will be thrown down."

Luke 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:6

As for these things which ye behold
Some, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, read these words by way of interrogation; "are these the things which ye behold?" do ye look upon these with wonder and delight? the days will come;
and they are hastening on; a little while, a few years more: in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down; (See Gill on Matthew 24:2).

Luke 21:6 In-Context

4 All of those other people gave a lot because they are rich. But even though she is poor, she put in everything. She had nothing left to live on."

5 Some of Jesus' disciples were talking about the temple. They spoke about how it was decorated with beautiful stones and with gifts that honored God. But Jesus asked,

6 "Do you see all this? The time will come when not one stone will be left on top of another. Every stone will be thrown down."

7 "Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

8 Jesus replied, "Keep watch! Be careful that you are not fooled. Many will come in my name. They will claim, 'I am he!' And they will say, 'The time is near!' Do not follow them.
