Matthew 24:19–27

¹⁹But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!↗

²⁰Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,↗

²¹for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.↗

²²Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.↗

²³“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.↗

²⁴For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.↗

²⁵“Behold, I have told you beforehand.↗

²⁶“If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.↗

²⁷For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.↗
