Exegesis
The predictive declaration uses a negated verb of remaining, ou me aphethe {οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ | ou mē a-phe-thêi}, followed by the adverb hode {ὧδε | hô-de} ‘here’ and the idiomatic expression lithos epi lithon {λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον | lí-thos e-pì lí-thon} ‘stone upon stone,’ which functions as a Semitic-style hyperbole for total destruction.
In context — Mark 13:2
And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings ? Not one stone will be left here upon another which will not be thrown down.”
