[Vers. 1, 2.] VERS. 1, 2. And JESVS went out and de∣parted from the Temple, and his Disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the Temple. And Iesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verely I say unto you there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be throwne downe.

Why doe Christs Disciples shew him the buil∣dings of the Temple, which they knew were not unknowne unto him?

First, they did this to move him to mercy, and lest the Temple should have beene destroyed, as he affirmed before, Chapter 23. 38. Or

Secondly, the Disciples did this, that upon a se∣rious consideration and observation of the Pompe and statelinesse of the building, our Saviour might be the more carefull to preserve it from destructi∣on; as though God regarded outward ornaments and pompe. Or

Thirdly, they shewed him the Temple to insi∣nuate secretly thereby, how difficult, yea impossible it was for it to be destroyed, especially considering the strength of the City also. And hence our Sa∣viour seemes to answer, See yee not all these things, &c.

When was this prediction fulfilled, That not one stone should be left upon another, which should not bee throwne downe?

This prophecie was not onely accomplished in the destruction of the old Temple, but then also, when in Iulian the Apostates time, the Jewes be∣ing by him encouraged to build the Temple, what was built in the day, was cast downe in the night; and besides a fire fell from Heaven, that consumed the worke, and worke-mens instruments: which Cyrillus Bishop of Hierusalem then seeing, applied unto that event this prediction of our Saviour.
