... take them: and he that is in the field shall not turn behind him. Remember Lot’s [46] wife. Whosoever shall desire to save his life shall destroy it: but whosoever shall [47] destroy his life shall save it. Verily I say unto you, In that night there shall be two on [48] [Arabic, p. 162] one bed; one shall be taken, and another left. And two women shall be grinding [49] at one mill; one shall be taken, and another left. And two shall be in the [50] field; one shall be taken, and another left.[Luke 17:37] They answered and said unto him, To what place, our Lord?
