Matthew 24:11-21

11 And many ¹false prophets will arise ²and lead many astray.

12 And because lawlessness will be increased, ³the love of many will grow cold.

13 ⁴But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom ⁵will be proclaimed throughout the whole world ⁶as a testimony ⁷to all nations, and ⁸then the end will come.

15 "So when you see the abomination of desolation ⁹spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in ¹⁰the holy place (¹¹let the reader understand),

16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

17 ¹²Let the one who is on ¹³the housetop not go down to take what is in his house,

18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.

19 And ¹⁴alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!

20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.

21 For then there will be ¹⁵great tribulation, ¹⁶such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
