And Jesus said unto them,
See you not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:2 Go To Matthew 24
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Hom lxxv: How means He Hom. this, “that one stone shalt not be left upon another?” Either as conveying the notion of its utter overthrow; or with respect to the place in which it stood, for its parts were broken up to its very foundations. But I would add, that, after the fate it underwent, the most captious might be satisfied that its very fragments have perished.
