¹⁵ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),

¹⁶ then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains:

¹⁷ let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house:

¹⁸ and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

¹⁹ But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

²⁰ And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:

²¹ for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

²² And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

²³ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe `it' not.

²⁴ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand.

²⁶ If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe `it' not.

²⁷ For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

²⁸ Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
