See what manner of stones - Josephus says, Ant. b. xv. chap. 11: "That these stones were white and strong, Fifty feet long, Twenty-Four broad, and Sixteen in thickness."

Mark Chapter 13 14 Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible
Let him that readeth understand - What he readeth, is added by D, and three of the Itala, perhaps needlessly.
Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple, Mark 13:1, Mark 13:2. His disciples inquire when this shall be, and what previous sign there shall be of this calamity, Mark 13:3, Mark 13:4; which questions he answers very solemnly and minutely, vv. 5-27; illustrates the whole by a parable, Mark 13:28, Mark 13:29; asserts the absolute certainty of the events, Mark 13:30, Mark 13:31; shows that the precise minute cannot be known by man, Mark 13:32; and inculcates the necessity of watchfulness and prayer, Mark 13:33-37.
