- flee:
- Accordingly, when Cestius Gallus came against Jerusalem, and unexpectedly raised the siege, Josephus states, that many of the noble Jews departed out of the city, as out of a sinking ship; and when Vespasian afterwards drew towards it, a great multitude fled to the mountains. And we learn from Eusebius, and Epiphanius, that at this juncture, all who believed in Christ left Jerusalem, and removed to Pella, and other places beyond Jordan; and so escaped the general shipwreck of their country, that we do not read of one who perished in Jerusalem. "Inª thatª day,ª he whichª shall beª° uponª the¹ housetop,ª andª hisª stuffª inª the¹ house,ª let²° him notª come downª° to take²° it² away:ª°¹ andª he¹ that is inª the¹ field,ª let him²° likewiseª notª returnª° back.ªª ... Whosoeverªª shall seekª° to saveª° his²¹ lifeª shall loseª° it;ª andª whosoeverªª shall loseª° his²¹ life shall preserveª° it.ª" {Lke 17:31-33} + "And it came to pass,¹ when they had brought them forthª°¹ abroad,ª that he said,ª° Escapeª° forª thy life;ª lookª° not¹ behind¹ thee,² neither¹ stayª° thou in all¹ the plain;ª escapeª° to the mountain,ª lest¹ thou be consumed.ª°" {Gen 19:17} + "But his wifeª looked¹ back²° from behind¹¹ him,² and she became¹ a pillarª of salt.ª" {Gen 19:26} + "He that feared²¹¹ the wordª of the LORDª among the servantsª¹ of Pharaohª made¹ his servantsª and his cattleª fleeª° into¹ the houses:ª ... And he that¹ regardedªª° not¹ the wordª of the LORDª leftª°¹ his servantsª and his cattleª in the field.ª" {Exd 9:20-21} + "A prudentª [man] foreseethª° the evil,ª and hidethª°°° himself:¹ but the simpleª pass on,ª° and are punished.ª°" {Prv 22:3} + "Thenª let them¹ which be inª Judaeaª fleeª° intoª the¹ mountains:ª" {Mtt 24:16} + "Andª let him²°¹ that is onª the¹ housetopª notª go downª° intoª the¹ house,ª neitherª enterª° [therein], to takeª° any thingª out ofª his²¹ house:ª" {Mrk 13:15}
