As Christ's attention was attracted to the magnificence of the temple, what must have been the unuttered thoughts of that Rejected One! The view before Him was indeed beautiful, but He said with sadness, I see it all. The buildings are indeed wonderful. You point to these walls as apparently indestructible; but listen to My words: The day will come when "there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Da Kristus blev gjort opmærksom på templets pragt, hvad har mon så været denne forkastedes uudtalte tanke. Det var i sandhed et smukt syn, der viste sig for ham, men han sagde med sorg: Jeg ser det alt sammen! Bygningerne er virkelig vidunderlige. I mener, at disse mure tilsyneladende er uforgængelige; men lyt til, hvad jeg siger: "Her skal ikke lades sten på sten tilbage, alt skal brydes ned."
