Marcos 13:17

17 Pero, ¡ay de las que estén encinta y de las que estén criando en aquellos días!

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 y el que esté en la azotea, no baje ni entre a sacar nada de su casa;

16 y el que esté en el campo, no vuelva atrás a tomar su capa.

17 Pero, ¡ay de las que estén encinta y de las que estén criando en aquellos días!

18 Orad para que esto no suceda en el invierno.

19 Porque aquellos días serán de tribulación, tal como no ha acontecido desde el principio de la creación que hizo Dios hasta ahora, ni acontecerá jamás.
