Mark 13:14–27

¹⁴But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not, (he that reads let him consider it,) then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains; ¹⁵and him that is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter into it to take away anything out of his house; ¹⁶and him that is in the field not return back to take his garment. ¹⁷But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days! ¹⁸And pray that it may not be in winter time; ¹⁹for those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never shall be; ²⁰and if the Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days. ²¹And then if any one say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe it not. ²²For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²³But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

²⁴But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light; ²⁵and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken; ²⁶and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory; ²⁷and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
