Exegesis
The relative clause hos ou me kataluthe {ὃς οὐ μὴ καταλυθῇ | hos ou mē ka-ta-lu-thêi} further specifies the fate of each “stone,” repeating the ou me construction with the aorist passive subjunctive to express emphatic, future-certain negation. The Greek syntax moves from a direct question to a solemn prophetic prediction, and in translation the emphatic double negation is rendered with strong future statements (“not one stone … every one will be torn down”) while preserving the vivid “stone upon another” imagery.
