Luke 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:7

And they asked him
That is, his disciples, when they were come to the Mount of Olives, and as he sat upon that, ( Matthew 24:3 ) saying, master, but when shall these things be?
when the temple shall be destroyed; and one stone shall not be left upon another; and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
pass?
which shows that this refers to the destruction of the temple, and so the signs following; (See Gill on Matthew 24:3).

Luke 21:7 In-Context

5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said,

6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”

7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
