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 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the prophet) standing where it ought not, he that reads, let him understand, then let those that are in Judaea flee to the mountains;

15 and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein to take any thing out of his house;

16 and let him that is in the field not turn back again even to take up his garment.

17 But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!

18 Pray, therefore, that your flight not be in winter.
