Luke 21:21-24

Context
21:21 Then those who are in Judea must flee 1  to the mountains. Those 2  who are inside the city must depart. Those 3  who are out in the country must not enter it, 21:22 because these are days of vengeance, 4  to fulfill 5  all that is written. 21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress 6  on the earth and wrath against this people. 21:24 They 7  will fall by the edge 8  of the sword and be led away as captives 9  among all nations. Jerusalem 10  will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 11
