Mark 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:18

And pray ye that your flight be not in winter.
] When days are short, roads bad, the weather inclement; and when to lodge in mountains, is very incommodious, and uncomfortable. The Persic version adds, "neither on the sabbath day"; (See Gill on Matthew 24:20).

Mark 13:18 In-Context

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.

19 For those days shall be of affliction such as never was from the beginning of the creation of the things which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved, but for the elect’s sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.
