13:14¶ But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains:

13:15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

13:16And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

13:17But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

13:18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

13:19For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

13:20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

13:21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

13:22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
