As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,

“+w As|strong=“G1722”+w* +w for|strong=“G1909”+w* +w these|strong=“G3778”+w* +w things|strong=“G3778”+w* +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w you|strong=“G3739”+w* +w see|strong=“G2334”+w*, +w the|strong=“G1722”+w* +w days|strong=“G2250”+w* +w will|strong=“G3739”+w* +w come|strong=“G2064”+w* +w in|strong=“G1722”+w* +w which|strong=“G3739”+w* +w there|strong=“G1722”+w* +w will|strong=“G3739”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w be|strong=“G3756”+w* left +w here|strong=“G3778”+w* +w one|strong=“G3739”+w* +w stone|strong=“G3037”+w* +w on|strong=“G1909”+w* +w another|strong=“G3037”+w* +w that|strong=“G3739”+w* +w will|strong=“G3739”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w be|strong=“G3756”+w* thrown +w down|strong=“G2647”+w*.”

They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
