Matthew 24:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ Pray to God that you will not have to run away during the winter or on a Sabbath! ^21 (A)For the trouble at that time will be far more terrible than any there has ever been, from the beginning of the world to this very day. Nor will there ever be anything like it again. ²² But God has already reduced the number of days; had he not done so, nobody would survive. For the sake of his chosen people, however, God will reduce the days.
