Mark 13:1-2 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!… In the very ruins of the earthly Jerusalem you will find a salutary memorial, not only of the transitory character of all this world's glory, but of the exchange of the shadow for the substance; of the introduction of that kingdom which is not of this world, and of that temple, built upon everlasting foundations, in which all believers are living stones, fashioned after the model of "the chief cornerstone," even Jesus Christ. (H. Gray.) Parallel Verses KJV: And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! |
