Mark 13:19–27

¹⁹For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.↗

²⁰Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.↗

²¹Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ don’t believe it.↗

²²For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.↗

²³But you watch. “Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.↗

²⁴But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,↗

²⁵the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.↗

²⁶Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.↗

²⁷Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.↗
