Matthew 24:1: "And having-departed from the temple, Jesus was-proceeding. And His disciples came-to (Him) to-show Him the buildings (of) the temple."

Matthew 24:2: "But the (One), having-responded, said (to) them, “Do-you-see all these (things)? Truly I-say (to) you — (a) stone upon (a) stone by-no-means will-be-left here which will not be-torn-down”."

1st century setting?

After "having-departed from the temple" (Matthew 24:1), the 1st century disciples of Jesus came to Jesus to show Him "the buildings (of) the temple" (Matthew 24:1). The disciples were showing the buildings of the temple of Jerusalem that was standing there in the 1st century, as Jesus just also departed from it. In response, Jesus said to them: "Do-YOU-SEE all these (things)? Truly I-say (to) you — (a) stone upon (a) stone by-no-means will-be-left here which will not be-torn-down" (Matthew 24:2).

1st century events

The 1st century historian Josephus wrote about an event that happened in the 1st century around AD 70, in which the temple of Jerusalem that was standing there in the 1st century was destroyed by the Romans, and even its foundations were dug up.

 

The 1st century historian Josephus wrote in "The Wars of the Jews":

War 7.1 (7.1.1): "Now, as soon as the army had no more people to slay or to plunder, because there remained none to be objects of their fury (for they would not have spared any, had there remained any other such work to be done) Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as were of the greatest eminency; that is, Phasaelus, and Hippicus, and Mariamne, and so much of the wall as enclosed the city on the west side."

War 7.2 (7.1.1): "This wall was spared, in order to afford a camp for such as were to lie in garrison; as were the towers also spared, in order to demonstrate to posterity what kind of city it was, and how well fortified, which the Roman valor had subdued;" 

War 7.3 (7.1.1): "but for all the rest of the wall, it was so thoroughly laid even with the ground by those that dug it up to the foundation, that there was left nothing to make those that came thither believe it had ever been inhabited."

War 7:376 (7.8.7): "Where is this city that was believed to have God himself inhabiting therein? It is now demolished to the very foundations; and hath nothing but that monument of it preserved, I mean the camp of those that have destroyed it, which still dwells upon its ruins;" 

War 7.115 (7.5.2): "a great deal of which the Romans dug up; but the greatest part was discovered by those who were captives, and so they carried it away, I mean the gold and the silver, and the rest of that most precious furniture which the Jews had, and which the owners had treasured up underground, against the uncertain fortunes of war." 

War 7:29 (7.2.1): "And now Simon, thinking he might be able to astonish and delude the Romans, put on a white frock, and buttoned upon him a purple cloak, and appeared out of the ground in the place the temple had formerly been."
