Mark 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:16

And let him that is in the field
At work, in any sort of business there,

not turn back again:
either to his own house, or rather to that part of the field where he laid down his clothes:

for to take up his garment;
but let him flee without it, or otherwise he would be in great danger; (See Gill on Matthew 24:18).

Mark 13:16 In-Context

14 And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains.

15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house.

16 And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment.

17 And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days.

18 But pray ye that these things happen not in winter.
