This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Let him not go down (mē katabatō). Second aorist active imperative of katabainō with mē in a prohibition in the third person singular. The usual idiom here would be mē and the aorist subjunctive. See Mar 13:15. and Mat 24:17. 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).
