Disciples’ Literal New Testament
20 And be praying that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on a Sabbath. 21 For then[a] there will be a great affliction[b] such as has not taken place since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will take place. 22 And if those days had not been shortened[c], no[d] flesh would have been saved. But those days will be shortened for the sake of the chosen ones.
