Matthew 24:9-19

9 "Then ¹they will deliver you up ²to tribulation and ³put you to death, and ⁴you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then many will fall away^[a] and ⁵betray one another and hate one another.

11 And many ⁶false prophets will arise ⁷and lead many astray.

12 And because lawlessness will be increased, ⁸the love of many will grow cold.

13 ⁹But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom ¹⁰will be proclaimed throughout the whole world ¹¹as a testimony ¹²to all nations, and ¹³then the end will come.

15 "So when you see the abomination of desolation ¹⁴spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in ¹⁵the holy place (¹⁶let the reader understand),

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

17 ¹⁷Let the one who is on ¹⁸the 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 ¹⁹alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
