Matthew 24:15-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

Perilous Times

¹⁵ “Therefore when you see the ^(A)abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in ^(B)the holy place (^(C)let the reader understand), ¹⁶ then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. ^17 [a]Whoever is on ^(D)the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. ^18 [b]Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. ¹⁹ But ^(E)woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! ²⁰ But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. ²¹ For then there will be a ^(F)great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. ²² Unless those days had been cut short, no ^[c]life would have been saved; but for ^(G)the sake of the ^[d]elect those days will be cut short.
