At the last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
-- Matthew 26:60f.
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
-- Luke 21:5f.
-----------------------------------------
Luke clearly preserves the eschatological context of the original remarks, in which it may be imagined that Jesus envisioned the coming of the kingdom down out of heaven from God, with the holy angels and the Son of Man in the lead, and the replacement of the earthly temple with the heavenly one. In keeping with the loss of this interpretation in the wake of its failure, Matthew's passion narrative reflects the new consensus view that Jesus died for sins and rose again, and thus spoke of the temple of his body, not of Herod's.
