Contextual Overview

14 And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. 15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house. 16 And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment. 17 And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. 18 But pray ye that these things happen not in winter. 19 For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he is here: do not believe. 22 For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect. 23 Take you heed therefore: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And pray ye that your flight be not in winter. When days are short, roads bad, the weather inclement; and when to lodge in mountains, is very incommodious, and uncomfortable. The Persic version adds, "neither on the sabbath day"; :-.
