5 As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,
6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
Focused Passage
Luke 21:5-6
The Widow’s Gift, Jerusalem’s Fall, and Watchfulness before the Son of Man
Jesus contrasts the widow’s costly offering with outward religious abundance, foretells the temple’s destruction, prepares disciples for deception and persecution, announces Jerusalem’s siege and devastation, widens the horizon to the coming of the Son of Man, and commands watchful readiness.
