Mark 13:19-21

Contemporary English Version

^19 (A) This will be the worst time of suffering since God created the world, and nothing this terrible will ever happen again. ²⁰ If the Lord doesn't make the time shorter, no one will be left alive. But because of his chosen and special ones, he will make the time shorter.

²¹ If someone should say, “Here is the Messiah!” or “There he is!” don't believe it.
