Mark 13:17-23

English Standard Version

¹⁷ And ^(A)alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! ¹⁸ Pray that it may not happen in winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be ^(B)such ^(C)tribulation as has not been ^(D)from the beginning of the creation that ^(E)God created until now, and never will be. ²⁰ And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for ^(F)the sake of the elect, whom ^(G)he chose, he shortened the days. ²¹ And ^(H)then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. ^22 (I)For false christs and false prophets will arise and ^(J)perform signs and wonders, ^(K)to lead astray, if possible, ^(L)the elect. ²³ But ^(M)be on guard; ^(N)I have told you all things beforehand.
