Mark 13:21 In-Context

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved : but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen , he hath shortened the days.

22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise , and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce , if it were possible, even the elect.

23 But take ye heed : behold , I have foretold you all things.
