rwp @Luke:17:31 @{Let him not go down } (\m ˆ katabat “\). Second aorist active imperative of \katabain “\ with \m ˆ\ in a prohibition in the third person singular . The usual idiom here would be \m ˆ\ and the aorist subjunctive . See strkjv @Mark:13:15f .; strkjv @Matthew:24:17f .| 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 ). rwp @Luke:17:32 @{Remember Lot 's wife } (\mn ˆmoneuete t ˆs gunaikos L “t \). Here only in the N .T . A pertinent illustration to warn against looking back with yearning after what has been left behind (Genesis:19:26 |).
