Contextual Overview

⁵ Some people were talking about the Temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts offered to God. But Jesus said, ⁶ "As for these things you are looking at, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another. Every stone will be thrown down." ⁷ They asked Jesus, "Teacher, when will these things happen? What will be the sign that they are about to take place?" ⁸ Jesus said, "Be careful so you are not fooled. Many people will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the One' and, ‘The time has come!' But don't follow them. ⁹ When you hear about wars and riots, don't be afraid, because these things must happen first, but the end will come later." ¹⁰ Then he said to them, "Nations will fight against other nations, and kingdoms against other kingdoms. ¹¹ In various places there will be great earthquakes, sicknesses, and a lack of food. Fearful events and great signs will come from heaven. ¹² "But before all these things happen, people will arrest you and treat you cruelly. They will judge you in their synagogues and put you in jail and force you to stand before kings and governors, because you follow me. ¹³ But this will give you an opportunity to tell about me. ¹⁴ Make up your minds not to worry ahead of time about what you will say.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as some spake of the temple,.... These were the disciples; Mark says, one of them; but it seems there were more than one; one might begin the discourse, and others join him:

how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts;

:-.

he said; what follows. This was as he went out of the temple.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Goodly stones - Beautiful stones. Either referring to the large, square, and well-finished stones of which the eastern wall was built, or to the precious stones which might have been used in decorating the temple itself. See the notes at Mark 13:1.

Gifts - This word properly denotes anything devoted or dedicated to God. Anciently warriors dedicated to their gods the spoils of war - the shields, and helmets, and armor, and garments of those slain in battle. These were suspended in the temples. It would seem that something of this kind had occurred in the temple of Jerusalem, and that the people, to express their gratitude to God, had suspended on the pillars and perches of the temple gifts and offerings. Josephus mentions particularly a golden “vine” with which Herod the Great had adorned the columns of the temple (“Antiq.” xiii. 8). See also 2 Macc. 5:16; 9:16.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 21:5. Goodly stones — Or, costly stones. It has been thought by some that this relates not so much to the stones of which the temple was built, as to the precious stones with which it was decorated. For an account of the stones of the temple, Mark 13:1; Mark 13:1.

And gifts — Or, consecrated things, αναθημασι. αναθημα properly signifies a thing consecrated to sacred uses: αναθεμα signifies a thing devoted to a curse, or to destruction. They both come from the same root, ανατιθημι, I lay up, separate; and though two meanings cannot be more opposite than those assigned to these words, yet in the words themselves a short vowel (ε) in the place of a long one (η) makes all the difference between blessing and cursing.
