Mark 13:20-22

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁰ No person would be saved if the Lord did not make the time of trouble shorter. He will make it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

²¹ `If anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ!" or, "There he is!" do not believe it.

²² People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool God's chosen people if they can.
