Mark 13:20-22
New English Translation
20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them[a] short. 21 Then[b] if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’[c] or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe him. 22 For false messiahs[d] and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the elect.
