Matthew 24:8–20

⁸“^aBut all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.

⁹“^aThen they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and ^byou will be hated by all nations because of My name.

¹⁰“And at that time many will ^1afall away and will ²betray one another and hate one another.

¹¹“Many ^afalse prophets will arise and will deceive many.

¹²“And because lawlessness is multiplied, ¹most people’s love will grow cold.

¹³“^aBut the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

¹⁴“And this ^agospel of the kingdom ^bshall be proclaimed in the whole ^1cworld as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Abomination of Desolation and the Tribulation

¹⁵“Therefore when you see the ^aabomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in ^bthe holy place (^clet the reader understand),

¹⁶then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

¹⁷“¹Whoever is on ^athe housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.

¹⁸“And ¹whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his garment.

¹⁹“But ^awoe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

²⁰“But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
