But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.
15
"So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
17
let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house;
18
and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
19
And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!
20
Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath.
21
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
22
And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
23
Then if any one says to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.
