Luc 17:31

31 En ce jour-là, que celui qui sera sur le toit, et qui aura ses effets dans la maison, ne descende pas pour les prendre; et que celui qui sera dans les champs ne retourne pas non plus en arrière.

Luc 17:31 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:31

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop
Either for diversion or devotion, when he shall hear that the Roman armies are approaching to Jerusalem, to besiege it:

and his stuff in the house;
or "his vessels", his goods and furniture; or his utensils, and instruments of trade and business:

let him not come down;
the inner way of the house, from the top:

to take it away;
with him in his flight, but let him descend by the steps, or ladder, on the outside of the house, and make his escape directly to Pella, or the mountains:

and he that is in the field;
at work, and has laid down his clothes in some certain part of the field, or at home:

let him likewise not return back;
to fetch them, but make the best of his way as he is; (See Gill on Matthew 24:17) and (See Gill on Matthew 24:18).

Luc 17:31 In-Context

29 mais le jour où Lot sortit de Sodome, une pluie de feu et de soufre tomba du ciel, et les fit tous périr.

30 Il en sera de même le jour où le Fils de l'homme paraîtra.

31 En ce jour-là, que celui qui sera sur le toit, et qui aura ses effets dans la maison, ne descende pas pour les prendre; et que celui qui sera dans les champs ne retourne pas non plus en arrière.

32 Souvenez-vous de la femme de Lot.

33 Celui qui cherchera à sauver sa vie la perdra, et celui qui la perdra la retrouvera.
