How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

Mark 13:17 · BSB

Mark 13:17 in context

The verses around it, from Mark 13.

13 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14 So when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

15 Let no one on the housetop go back inside to retrieve anything from his house.

16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

18 Pray that this will not occur in the winter.

19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
