14 "This ³gospel of the kingdom ⁴shall be preached in the whole ⁵world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Perilous Times

15 "Therefore when you see the ⁶ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in ⁷the holy place (⁸let the reader understand ),

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

17 "Whoever is on ⁹the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

18 "Whoever is in the field must not turn back * to get his cloak.

19 "But ¹⁰woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

20 "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
