Exegesis
The interrogative force is carried by the second person indicative blepeis {Βλέπεις | Blé-peis} ‘you see,’ with the object phrase tautas tas megalas oikodomas {ταύτας τὰς μεγάλας οἰκοδομάς | taú-tas tàs me-gá-las oi-ko-do-más} ‘these great buildings’ placed after it, highlighting what is visible and impressive.
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.”
