3And he said, Of a truth, I say vnto you, that this poore widow hath cast in more then they all. 4For all these haue of their abundance cast in vnto the offerings of God, but shee of her penurie hath cast in all the liuing that she had. 5¶ And as some spake of the Temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, he said, 6As for these things which yee behold, the dayes will come, in the which there shal not be left one stone vpon another, that shal not be throwen downe. 7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe wil there be, when these things shall come to passe?

Wesley's Notes for Luke 21:5
21:5 Goodly stones - Such as no engines now in use could have brought, or even set upon each other. Some of them (as an eye witness who lately measured them writes) were forty - five cubits long, five high, and six broad; yet brought thither from another country. And gifts - Which persons delivered from imminent dangers had, in accomplishment of their vows, hung on the walls and pillars. The marble of the temple was so white, that it appeared like a mountain of snow at a distance. And the gilding of many parts made it, especially when the sun shone, a most splendid and beautiful spectacle. #Mt 24:1|; Mr 13:1.
