SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:2
Y Jess respondiendo, le dijo: ¿Ves estos grandes edificios? No quedar piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And Jesus answering said unto him , etc..] The Persic version reads, unto them; and so Beza's most ancient copy but as that question is put by one, the reply is made to him: seest thou these great buildings ? how beautiful and strong they are. The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, add the word all; and the sense is, dost thou take a survey of all these buildings, and of the whole of this stately edifice? and dost thou not admire the strength and grandeur of them? and dost thou not think they will be of long duration, and that the demolition of them is scarcely possible? There shall not be left one stone upon another . The Syriac and Arabic versions add, here: as in ( Matthew 24:9), and so it is read in four of Beza's copies, and in others: that shall not be thrown down ; (see Gill on Matthew 24:2).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - See how little Christ values outward pomp, where there is not rea purity of heart. He looks with pity upon the ruin of precious souls and weeps over them, but we do not find him look with pity upon the ruin of a fine house. Let us then be reminded how needful it is for u to have a more lasting abode in heaven, and to be prepared for it by the influences of the Holy Spirit, sought in the earnest use of all the means of grace.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
2. Thrown down (kataluqh). Rather, loosened down. A very graphic word, implying gradual demolition.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:2 {These great buildings} (tautas tas oikodomas). Jesus fully recognizes their greatness and beauty. The more remarkable will be their complete demolition (kataluqei), {loosened down}. Only the foundation stones remain.
