In the days before the final Passover week that Jesus experienced as a living rabbi, he had presented himself in Jerusalem for inspection. For two days he was inspected by the Temple allies and found blemish free. The third day he found no one directly challenging his perfection, so he taught his disciples. As they left the temple mount, Jesus had told his disciples everything of splendor they saw surrounding Herod’s Temple would be destroyed. The disciples questioned Jesus about when that destruction would come, causing him to say, “About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36)
