Jesus didn't come to give us a book. He spoke those words before the destruction of the Temple. We know this because His words are recorded in two parallel texts. It doesn't matter when they were recorded.

It matters if the texts put those words in his mouth after the destruction of the Temple (or at least close enough to the events that guessing where things were heading wasn't such an astonishing act of prescience).  You assume he spoke those words.  I have no trouble assuming his "prophecies" are instances of pious attribution to impress the writers' audience.
