Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 24:2 In-Context

1 Comme Jésus sortait du temple et qu'il s'en allait, ses disciples vinrent pour lui faire considérer les bâtiments du temple.
2 Et Jésus leur dit: Ne voyez-vous pas tout cela? Je vous dis en vérité qu'il ne restera ici pierre sur pierre qui ne soit renversée.
3 Et s'étant assis sur la montagne des Oliviers, ses disciples vinrent à lui en particulier et lui dirent: Dis-nous quand ces choses arriveront, et quel sera le signe de ton avènement et de la fin du monde.
4 Et Jésus, répondant, leur dit: Prenez garde que personne ne vous séduise.
5 Car plusieurs viendront en mon nom, disant: Je suis le Christ, et ils séduiront beaucoup de gens.
