Mark 13:14-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Great Tribulation. 14 (A)“When you see the desolating abomination standing[a] where he should not (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains,(B) 15 [and] a person on a housetop must not go down or enter to get anything out of his house,(C) 16 and a person in a field must not return to get his cloak. 17 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days. 18 Pray that this does not happen in winter. 19 For those times will have tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of God’s creation until now, nor ever will be.(D) 20 If the Lord had not shortened those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect whom he chose, he did shorten the days. 21 If anyone says to you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah! Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect. 23 Be watchful! I have told it all to you beforehand.
