Context of Mark 13:18

16And the one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 17Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that it will not happen in winter. 19“For in those days there will be trouble such as has never happened, not since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will. 20And unless Adonai had cut short those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He cut short the days.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1818. And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter--making escape perilous, or tempting you to delay your flight.
