Context of Luke 21:22

20But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh. 21Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it; for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished. 23But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of [the] nations until [the] times of [the] nations be fulfilled.
