Matthew 24:20-22

New American Standard Bible

²⁰ Moreover, pray that ^[a]when you flee, it will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. ²¹ For then there will be a ^(A)great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again. ²² And if those days had not been cut short, no ^[b]life would have been saved; but for ^(B)the sake of the ^[c]elect those days will be cut short.
