One day, Jesus and His friends were at the temple. The temple was very beautiful, with big stones and shiny decorations. People were talking about how amazing it looked.
But Jesus said, “One day, all of this will be gone. The stones will fall down.”
His friends were surprised and asked, “When will this happen?”
