As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him,

“Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!”

Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings?

Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”

Mark 13:1–2

The Temple in Jerusalem was the most sacred place for the Jewish people.

It was a place of worship, reverence, and pride.

When Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple it would have provoked a big reaction, both among the disciples and his adversaries.

His prophesy is more than a prediction but a theological reframing of God’s presence in the world.
