Luca 17:31

31 In quel giorno, chi sarà sulla terrazza ed avrà la sua roba in casa, non scenda a prenderla; e parimente, chi sarà nei campi non torni indietro.

Luca 17:31 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:31

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop
Either for diversion or devotion, when he shall hear that the Roman armies are approaching to Jerusalem, to besiege it:

and his stuff in the house;
or "his vessels", his goods and furniture; or his utensils, and instruments of trade and business:

let him not come down;
the inner way of the house, from the top:

to take it away;
with him in his flight, but let him descend by the steps, or ladder, on the outside of the house, and make his escape directly to Pella, or the mountains:

and he that is in the field;
at work, and has laid down his clothes in some certain part of the field, or at home:

let him likewise not return back;
to fetch them, but make the best of his way as he is; (See Gill on Matthew 24:17) and (See Gill on Matthew 24:18).

Luca 17:31 In-Context

29 ma nel giorno che Lot uscì di Sodoma, piovve dal cielo fuoco e zolfo, che li fece tutti perire.

30 Lo stesso avverrà nel giorno che il Figliuol dell’uomo sarà manifestato.

31 In quel giorno, chi sarà sulla terrazza ed avrà la sua roba in casa, non scenda a prenderla; e parimente, chi sarà nei campi non torni indietro.

32 Ricordatevi della moglie di Lot.

33 Chi cercherà di salvare la sua vita, la perderà; ma chi la perderà, la preserverà.
