Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.

King James Bible
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

American Standard Version
let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house:

Young's Literal Translation
he on the house-top -- let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;

Matthew 24:17 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Let him which is on the house top - The houses of the Jews, as well as those of the ancient Greeks and Romans, were flat-roofed, and had stairs on the outside, by which persons might ascend and descend without coming into the house. In the eastern walled cities, these flat-roofed houses usually formed continued terraces from one end of the city to the other; which terraces terminated at the gates. He, therefore, who is walking on the house top, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house; but let him instantly pursue his course along the tops of the houses, and escape out at the city gate as fast as he can.

Any thing - Instead of τι, any thing, we should read τα, the things; which reading is supported by all the best MSS., versions, and fathers.
