< Matthew 24 >
1 AND Jesus departing was going his way from the temple: and his disciples came to him, to point out to his observation the buildings of the temple.

2 But Jesus said unto them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you of a certainty, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be utterly thrown down.

3 Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age? (aiōn )
