Matthew 24:15-28

Common English Bible CEB

15 “When you see the disgusting and destructive thing that Daniel talked about standing in the holy place (the reader should understand this),

16 then those in Judea must escape to the mountains.

17 Those on the roof shouldn't come down to grab things from their houses.

18 Those in the field shouldn't come back to grab their clothes.

19 How terrible it will be at that time for women who are pregnant and for women who are nursing their children.

20 Pray that it doesn't happen in winter or on the Sabbath day.

21 There will be great suffering such as the world has never before seen and will never again see.

22 If that time weren't shortened, nobody would be rescued. But for the sake of the ones whom God chose, that time will be cut short.

23 “Then if somebody says to you, ‘Look, here's the Christ,' or ‘He's over here,' don't believe it.

24 False christs and false prophets will appear, and they will offer great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen.

25 Look, I've told you ahead of time.

26 So if they say to you, ‘Look, he's in the desert,' don't go out. And if they say, ‘Look, he's in the rooms deep inside the house,' don't believe it.

27 Just as the lightning flashes from the east to the west, so it will be with the coming of the Human One.

28 The vultures gather wherever there's a dead body.

New International Version NIV

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—

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

17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.

18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.

19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.

21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.

24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
