Mark 13:14-26

Goodspeed(i) 14 But as soon as you see the dreadful desecration standing where he has no right to stand" (the reader must take note of this), "then those who are in Judea must fly to the hills; 15 a man on the roof of his house must not go down or go into the house to get anything out of it, 16 and a man in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 Alas for women who are with child at that time, or who have babies! 18 Pray that it may not be winter when it comes, 19 for there will be such misery in those days as there has never been since the beginning of God's creation until now, and never will be again. 20 If the Lord had not cut those days short, nobody would have escaped, but for the sake of his own chosen people he has cut the days short. 21 If anyone says to you at that time, 'Look! Here is the Christ!' or 'Look! There he is!' do not believe it. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear, and they will show signs and wonders to mislead God's chosen people if they can. 23 But you must be on your guard; I have told you all about it beforehand. 24 But in those days, when that misery is over, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed its light 25 and the stars will fall from the sky and the forces in the sky will shake. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory,
