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 So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

15 Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

18 Pray that this will not occur in the winter.
