Matthew 24:17-21 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

17 Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:

18 And let not him who is in the field go back to get his coat.

19 But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

20 And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

21 Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.
