Matius 24:2

24:2 And he said to them, ¹  “Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, ²  not one stone will be left on another. ³  All will be torn down!” ⁴ 

Matius 17:17

17:17 Jesus answered, ⁵  “You ⁶  unbelieving ⁷  and perverse generation! How much longer ⁸  must I be with you? How much longer must I endure ⁹  you? ¹⁰  Bring him here to me.”

[24:2]  ¹ tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (ajpokriqei") is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[24:2]  ² tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[24:2]  ³ sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

[24:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

[17:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[17:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

[17:17]  ⁷ tn Or “faithless.”

[17:17]  sn The rebuke for lack of faith has OT roots: Num 14:27; Deut 32:5, 30; Isa 59:8.

[17:17]  ⁸ tn Grk “how long.”

[17:17]  ⁹ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[17:17]  ¹⁰ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.
