John Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible
As for these things which ye behold,.... Some, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, read these words by way of interrogation; "are these the things which ye behold?" do ye look upon these with wonder and delight?
the days will come; and they are hastening on; a little while, a few years more:
in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down; See Gill on Matthew 24:2.

Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament
As for these things (ταυτα tauta). Accusative of general reference.
One stone upon another (λιτος επι λιτωι lithos epi lithōi). Stone upon stone (locative). Here both Mark 13:2; Matthew 24:2 have επι λιτον epi lithon (accusative). Instead of ουκ απετησεται ouk aphethēsetai (future passive) they both have ου μη απετηι ou mē aphethēi (double negative with aorist passive subjunctive). It was a shock to the disciples to hear this after the triumphal entry.The Robertson's Word Pictures of the New Testament. Copyright Broadman Press 1932,33, Renewal 1960. All rights reserved.

Luke 21:6. ταῦτα, these things) The Subject. The Predicate follows, which is subdivided into Subject and Predicate.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible
“As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.”
And so He informed them that days were coming when the temple would be torn down, with not one stone to be left on another, just as it had been in the days of Jeremiah among the rubble of the houses (2 Chronicles 36:19; Jeremiah 7:12-14; Lamentations 4:1). God would repeat His judgments upon it as He had promised in the book of Daniel would happen once the Messiah had been cut off (Daniel 9:26). Interestingly there is little in these words of Jesus from Luke 21:8-24 which has not already been clearly depicted by the prophets in the Old Testament as coming on the world in the future. His genius lies in bringing it all together.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable
Luke"s record of Jesus" reply is almost identical to what the other evangelists recorded. Jesus predicted the complete destruction of the temple (cf. Luke 19:44; Mark 14:58; John 2:19; Acts 6:14). His following explanation shows that He was speaking of a destruction in the Tribulation primarily.

The Expositor's Greek Testament
Luke 21:6. . Some (Grotius, Pricaeus) take = : of these things which ye see a stone shall not be left. Most, however, take it as a nominative absolute = as for these things which ye see (vide Winer, § lxiii. 2 d). This suits better the emotional mood.— : cf.Luke 5:35, where a similar ominous allusion to coming evil days occurs.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary
was by the divine dispensation of Providence that his city and temple were destroyed; for had the ancient rites and sacrifices continued, some that were but weak in their faith, might have been filled with astonishment at the sight of these different modes of worship, existing at the same time, and thus have been lead astray from the path of truth.
