Exegesis
The direct object of idete is the noun phrase to bdelygma tēs erēmōseōs {τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως | tò bdé-lyg-ma tês e-rē-mó-se-ōs}, with a head noun and a dependent genitive, forming the technical apocalyptic expression “the abomination of desolation.”
In context — Mark 13:14
But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let the one who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
