24:9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations ⁹  because of my name. ¹⁰  24:10 Then many will be led into sin, ¹¹  and they will betray one another and hate one another. 24:11 And many false prophets will appear and deceive ¹²  many, 24:12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold. 24:13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved. ¹³  24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations, ¹⁴  and then the end will come.

24:15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation ¹⁵  – spoken about by Daniel the prophet – standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 24:16 then those in Judea must flee ¹⁶  to the mountains. 24:17 The one on the roof ¹⁷  must not come down ¹⁸  to take anything out of his house, 24:18 and the one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 24:19 Woe ¹⁹  to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! 24:20 Pray ²⁰  that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 24:21 For then there will be great suffering ²¹  unlike anything that has happened ²²  from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen. 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
