Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as he went out of the temple,.... The Ethiopic version reads, "as they went out"; Christ and his disciples: for when Christ went out of the temple, the disciples went out with him; or at least very quickly followed him, and came to him, as appears from what follows; though the true reading is, "as he went out": and the Syriac and Persic versions are more express, and read, "as Jesus went out": for having done all he intended to do there, he left it, never more to return to it:
one of his disciples: it may be Peter, who was generally pretty forward, and commonly the mouth of the rest, as this disciple was, whoever he was: the Persic version reads, "the disciples"; and Matthew and Luke represent them in general, as observing to Christ, the beauty and grandeur of the temple, as this disciple did: who
saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here]. The temple, as repaired by Herod, was a very beautiful building, according to the account the Jews give of it, and its stones were of a very great magnitude; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
What manner of stones - The stones here referred to were those used in the building of the temple, and the walls on the sides of Mount Moriah, on which the temple stood. The temple was constructed of white marble, and the blocks were of a prodigious size. Josephus says that these stones were, some of them, 50 feet long, 24 feet broad, and 16 feet in thickness.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIII.
Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple, 1, 2.
His disciples inquire when this shall be, and what previous
sign there shall be of this calamity, 3, 4;
which questions he answers very solemnly and minutely, 5-27;
illustrates the whole by a parable, 28, 29;
asserts the absolute certainty of the events, 30, 31;
shows that the precise minute cannot be known by man, 32;
and inculcates the necessity of watchfulness and prayer, 33-37.
NOTES ON MARK XIII.
Verse Mark 13:1. See what manner of stones — Josephus says, ANT. b. xv. chap. Mark 11:0: "That these stones were white and strong, FIFTY feet long, TWENTY-FOUR broad, and SIXTEEN in thickness." If this account can be relied on, well might the disciples be struck with wonder at such a superb edifice, and formed by such immense stones! The principal contents of this chapter are largely explained in the notes on Matthew 24:0:, and to these the reader is requested to refer.
