Mark 13:3

1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”

5 Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
