Matthew 24:10-20

10 And then many will fall away^[a] and ¹betray one another and hate one another.

11 And many ²false prophets will arise ³and lead many astray.

12 And because lawlessness will be increased, ⁴the love of many will grow cold.

13 ⁵But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom ⁶will be proclaimed throughout the whole world ⁷as a testimony ⁸to all nations, and ⁹then the end will come.

The Abomination of Desolation

15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation ¹⁰spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in ¹¹the holy place ( ¹²let the reader understand),

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

17 ¹³Let the one who is on ¹⁴the 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 ¹⁵alas 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.
