Luke 17:31

Luke 17:31

29 but on ^athe day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man ^ais revealed.

31 “In that day, he ^awho is on the housetop, and his¹ goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.

32 ^aRemember Lot’s wife.

33 ^aWhoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34 ^aI tell you, in that night there will be two¹ men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.

35 ^aTwo women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.

36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

37 And they answered and said to Him, ^a“Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

Let him not go down (mh katabatw). Second aorist active imperative of katabainw with mh in a prohibition in the third person singular. The usual idiom here would be mh and the aorist subjunctive. See Mark 13:15 f.; Matthew 24:17 f. when these words occur in the great eschatological discussion concerning flight before the destruction of Jerusalem. Here the application is "absolute indifference to all worldly interests as the attitude of readiness for the Son of Man" (Plummer).
