Matthew 24:11-21

11 and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
12 and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
13 but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.
14 And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
15 When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand,)
16 then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
18 and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
20 But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
21 for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;

Footnotes 5

  • [a]. Or 'has been multiplied.'
  • [b]. 'The mass,' but here that would tend to give the idea of the mass of the people, not professors: see Dan. 9.27, 'the many.'
  • [c]. See Note b, Mark 13.14.
  • [d]. 'Holy place' is without an article and characteristic. The Greek does not designate some particular place. I have inserted 'what is a' to generalize it.
  • [e]. Or 'consider [it]:' see Mark 13.14, and Note c.
