{In winter nor on a sabbath} (cheim(936e)os, genitive of
time, m(8864)e sabbat(9369), locative of time). In winter because of
the rough weather. On a sabbath because some would hesitate to
make such a journey on the sabbath. Josephus in his _Wars_ gives
the best illustration of the horrors foretold by Jesus in verse
 21 .
