Jesus' audience would have known that this refers to the temple. This can be made explicit. AT: "standing in the temple, where it should not be standing" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

This is not Jesus speaking. Matthew added this to get the readers' attention, so that they would listen to this warning. AT: "may everyone who is reading this pay attention to this warning" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
