Mark 13:19-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred ^(A)since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will. ²⁰ Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no ^[a]life would have been saved; but for the sake of the ^[b]elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. ²¹ And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is ^[c]the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him; ²² for false Christs and ^(B)false prophets will arise, and will show ^[d](C)signs and ^(D)wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. ²³ But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.

The Return of Christ

²⁴ “But in those days, after that tribulation, ^(E)the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, ^25 (F)and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in ^[e]the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ Then they will see ^(G)the Son of Man ^(H)coming in clouds with great power and glory.
