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, ²⁷ and then he will send out the angels and gather his chosen people from the four winds, from one end of the world to the other. ²⁸ "Let the fig tree teach you the lesson. As soon as its branches grow soft and put forth leaves you know that summer is coming. ²⁹ So when you see these things happening, you must know that he is just at the door. ³⁰ I tell you, these things will all happen before the present age passes away. ³¹ Earth and sky will pass away, but my words will not. ³² But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son; only the Father. ³³ You must look out and be on the alert, for you do not know when it will be time; ³⁴ just as a man when he leaves home to go on a journey, and puts his slaves in charge, each with his duties, gives orders to the watchman to keep watch. ³⁵ So you must be on the watch, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening or at midnight or toward daybreak or early in the morning— ³⁶ for fear he should come unexpectedly and find you asleep. ³⁷ And what I am telling you I mean for all—Be on the watch!"
