Lukas 21:21-22

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.

[21:21]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Or “of punishment.” This is a time of judgment.
