Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 24:1

"And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple." — Matthew 24:1 (ASV)

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Ah, me! the rejected king took but slight interest in the temple of which his disciples thought so much. To them the appearance was glorious; but to their Lord it was a sad sight. His Father's house, which ought to have been a house of prayer for all nations, had become a den of thieves, and soon would be utterly destroyed.
