Marcos 13:17

17 Mas ai das que estiverem grávidas, e das que amamentarem naqueles dias!

Marcos 13:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:17

But woe to them that are with child
Who because of their burdens, would be very unfit for, and very incapable of fleeing with any haste; and therefore very liable to fall into the hands of the enemy, and become their prey:

and to them that give suck in those days;
who could not bear to leave their children behind, and yet would not be able to carry them with them; at least not without great trouble, and which would much retard their flight, and endanger their being taken by the enemy; (See Gill on Matthew 24:19).

Marcos 13:17 In-Context

15 quem estiver no eirado não desça, nem entre para tirar alguma coisa da sua casa;
16 e quem estiver no campo não volte atrás para buscar a sua capa.
17 Mas ai das que estiverem grávidas, e das que amamentarem naqueles dias!
18 Orai, pois, para que isto não suceda no inverno;
19 porque naqueles dias haverá uma tribulação tal, qual nunca houve desde o princípio da criação, que Deus criou, até agora, nem jamais haverá.
