6. ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε. See Matthew 7:24; 1 John 2:24; 1 John 2:27; 2 Corinthians 12:17, &c. ‘These things which ye are gazing on’ (it is what is called the ‘pendent nominative’). See Winer, p. 718, for similar constructions.

λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ. See on Luke 19:44 and the remarkable passage in 2Es 10:54, “in the place where the Highest beginneth to shew His city, there can no man’s building be able to stand.” This was fulfilled in spite of the strong wish of Titus to spare the Temple, Jos. B. J. vi. 4, § 5. He was himself so amazed at the massive substructures that he could only see in his conquest the hand of God (id. VI. 9, § 1). This prophecy was in reality that “Let us depart hence” which Josephus (B. J. VI. 5, § 3) and Tacitus (Hist. Luke 21:13) tell us was uttered by a mysterious Voice before the destruction of Jerusalem.
