This will be a discussion concerning the phrase "stone upon stone" as prophecied by Jesus concerning the 1st century Temple.
[I put certain options in the poll but if others would like me to add to them, I am able to do that for a period of time.
[Here is a link to my harmony of the 70ad Jerusalem/Temple Discourse for those interested [feel free to bring up any errors that you may find. Thank you]
Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke's Temple/Jerusalem Discourses harmonized
I am going to put up the only 4 verses from the entire Bible that use that exact phrase, along with the Greek texts.
I hope this edifies others as much as it has me.
Matthew 24:
1 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the Temple<2411>, and His disciples came near to show Him the buildings of the Temple,
2 And answering He said to them, “ are ye not seeing all these?
Amen I am saying to ye, not no may be being left here stone upon stone, which not shall be being thrown-down/demolished<2647>.”
2 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ βλέπετε ταῦτα πάντα; ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον, ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται1.
Mark 13:
1 And He going forth out of the Temple, one of His Disciples is saying to Him “Teacher! behold! what manner of stones and what manner of buildings”
2 And Jesus answering said to him, “these great buildings which thou are observing,
Not no may be being left here stone upon stone which not no may be being thrown-down/demolished<2647>
2 καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· βλέπεις ταύτας τὰς μεγάλας οἰκοδομάς;1 οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον. ὃς οὐ μὴ καταλυθῇ2.
Luke 21:
5 and of some saying concerning the Temple, that to goodly stones and votive-offerings it has been adorned<2885>
6 “These which ye are beholding,
shall be coming days in which not shall be being left stone upon stone here which not shall be being thrown-down/demolished<2647>
6 ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ, ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται1.
Luke 19:
41 And as He nears, beholding the City, and He laments on Her,
42 saying, "that if Thou knew and Thou, even indeed in the day, this, the toward peace of Thee, now yet it was hid from Thy eyes.
43 That shall be arriving days upon Thee,
and Thy enemies shall be casting up a rampart/siege-work to Thee
and shall be encompassing Thee,
and pressing Thee from-every-side.
44 And shall be leveling Thee and Thy offspring in Thee,
and not shall be leaving stone upon stone in Thee,
stead which not Thou knew the season/time<2540> of the visitation of Thee".
44 καὶ ἐδαφιοῦσίν1 σε καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐν σοί, καὶ οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν λίθον ἐπὶ λίθον ἐν σοί, ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ἔγνως τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς2 σου.
