And pray ye that your flight be not in winter.

Mark 13:18 In-Context

16 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.

17 And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!

18 Pray that it may not happen in winter.

19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
