Immensely opulent temple

Luke Chapter 21:5

5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with
beautiful stones and donations, He said,

took from 20 B.C. until 64 A.D. just to build it.

grapevine clusters, and Babylon linen tapestries which
hung from the temple veil Even Tacitus, the Roman
historian, called it an “immensely opulent temple.”
