¹⁴ Moreover, when you see the abomination that betokens desolation, of which Daniel the prophet has spoken, standing where it ought not, let him who reads, understand. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁵ And let him who is on the housetop not descend down into the house, neither enter in to fetch anything out of his house. ¹⁶ And let him who is in the field not turn back again to those things that he left behind him, to take his clothes with him. ¹⁷ Woe shall be then to women that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. ¹⁸ But pray that your flight be not in the winter. ¹⁹ For there shall be in those days such tribulation as was not from the beginning of creatures that God created to this time, nor will be again. ²⁰ And if the Lord did not shorten those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.

²¹ And then if anyone says to you, Lo, here is Christ! Lo, he is there! –  believe it not. ²² For false Christs will arise, and false prophets, and they will show miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible even the elect. ²³ But take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
