Mark 13:14-23
New American Standard Bible
14 “Now (A)when you see the (B)abomination of desolation standing where it should not be—[a]let the [b]reader understand—then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 [c](C)Whoever is on the [d]housetop must not go down, nor go in to get anything out of his house. 16 And [e]whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 17 But woe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 Moreover, pray that it will not happen in winter. 19 For those days will be such a time of tribulation as has not occurred (D)since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will again. 20 And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no [f]life would have been saved; but for the sake of the [g]elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the [h]Christ’; or, ‘Look, there He is’; do not believe it; 22 for false christs and (E)false prophets will arise, and will provide (F)signs and (G)wonders, in order to mislead, if possible, the elect. 23 But beware; I have told you everything in advance.

14 “But (A)when you see the (B)abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 (C)The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; 16 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 But pray that it may not happen in the winter. 19 For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred (D)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 (E)false prophets will arise, and will show [d](F)signs and (G)wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.
