1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] to show him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

47 Verily I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all his goods.

50 The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And will cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
