17
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18
And pray that it may not be in winter time;
19
for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since [the] beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be;
20
and if [the] Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.
21
And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not.
22
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23
But do *ye* take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24
But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;
25
and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;
26
and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;
27
and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
