Matthew 24:4-24

Sawyer(i) 4 And Jesus answered and said to them, See that no man deceives you; 5 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. 6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not terrified, for all things must be accomplished; but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in different places; 8 but all these things are the beginning of sorrows. 9 (22:2) Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account; 10 and then many shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another; 11 and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many, 12 and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall become cold: 13 but he that endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come. 15 (22:3) When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place—let him that reads understand,— 16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things from his house; 18 and let not him that is in the field return back to take his clothes; 19 and woe to those with child and giving nurse in those days! 20 But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath; 21 for at that time there shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even till now, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened. 23 (22:4) Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not. 24 For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
