Luke 21:20
Douay-Rheims
And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
Bede the Venerable
(Ecc. Hist. lib. iii. c. 5.) The ecclesiastical history relates, that all the Christians who were in Judæa, when the destruction of Jerusalem was approaching, being warned of the Lord, departed from that place, and dwelt beyond the Jordan in a city called Pella, until the desolation of Judæa was ended.
