Context of Luke 21:21
19In your patience possess ye your souls. 20And when ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is near. Then let them who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it. 22For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
