13And ye will be hated of all on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved. 14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider [it],) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains; and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter [into it] to take away anything out of his house; 16and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment. 17But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!

And let him that is on the housetop not get down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house--that is, let him take the outside flight of steps from the roof to the ground; a graphic way of denoting the extreme urgency of the case, and the danger of being tempted, by the desire to save his property, to delay till escape should become impossible.Read the comment
