Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹⁵ When you therefore see the abomination that betokens desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place, let him who reads it, understand it. ¹⁶ Then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains. ¹⁷ And let him who is on the housetop not come down to fetch anything out of his house. ¹⁸ Neither let him who is in the field return back to fetch his clothes. ¹⁹ Woe shall be in those days to women that are with child, and to those who give suck. ²⁰ But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. ²¹ For then will be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor will be. ²² Yea and unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be shortened.

²³ Then if anyone says to you, See, here is Christ! or, There is Christ! – believe it not. ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will do great miracles and wonders, insomuch that if it were possible, the very elect should be deceived. ²⁵ Take heed, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ So if they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert! go not forth; or, Behold, he is in the secret places! believe it not. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines to the west, so will the coming of the Son of man be.
