Verse 17
But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that it be not in the winter.
The compassion of the Saviour who foresaw the suffering and hardship, especially upon mothers, in the coming disaster, shines in his exclamation here.
And pray that it be not in winter ... Their prayers in this were answered, for the siege reached its climax in the spring and summer, the fall of the city coming on August 10,70 A.D.
Be the first to react on this!
