1. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him —The other Evangelists are less definite. "As some spake," says Luke ( :- ); "His disciples came to Him," says Matthew ( :- ). Doubtless it was the speech of one, the mouthpiece, likely, of others. Master —Teacher. see what manner of stones and what buildings are here —wondering probably, how so massive a pile could be overthrown, as seemed implied in our Lord's last words regarding it. JOSEPHUS, who gives a minute account of the wonderful structure, speaks of stones forty cubits long [ Wars of the Jews, 5.5.1.] and says the pillars supporting the porches were twenty-five cubits high, all of one stone, and that of the whitest marble [ Wars of the Jews, 5.5.2]. Six days' battering at the walls, during the siege, made no impression upon them [ Wars of the Jews, 6.4.1]. Some of the under-building, yet remaining, and other works, are probably as old as the first temple. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
