Luke 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:7

And they asked him
That is, his disciples, when they were come to the Mount of Olives, and as he sat upon that, ( Matthew 24:3 ) saying, master, but when shall these things be?
when the temple shall be destroyed; and one stone shall not be left upon another; and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
pass?
which shows that this refers to the destruction of the temple, and so the signs following; (See Gill on Matthew 24:3).

Luke 21:7 In-Context

5 When some were remarking about the Temple, how it was embellished with beautiful stones and dedicated gifts, He said,

6 "As to these things which you now admire, the time is coming when there will not be one stone left here upon another which will not be pulled down."

7 "Rabbi, when will this be?" they asked Him, "and what will be the token given when these things are about to take place?"

8 "See to it," He replied, "that you are not misled; for many will come assuming my name and professing, `I am He,' or saying, `The time is close at hand.' Do not go and follow them.

9 But when you hear of wars and turmoils, be not afraid; for these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."
