Mark 13:14-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ But when you see the abomination of desolation mentioned by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not to be—[and] let the one who reads take notice and consider and understand and heed [this]—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.^(A)

¹⁵ Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house nor go inside to take anything out of his house;

¹⁶ And let him who is in the field not turn back again to get his mantle (cloak).

¹⁷ And alas for those who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days!

¹⁸ Pray that it may not occur in winter,

¹⁹ For at that time there will be such affliction (oppression and tribulation) as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until this particular time—and ^[a]positively never will be [again].

²⁰ And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no human being would be saved (rescued); but for the sake of the elect, His chosen ones (those whom He ^[b]picked out for Himself), He has shortened the days.^(B)
