Mark 13:20-22 And had not the Lord shortened those days, no flesh could escape. But for the sake of the chosen, whom he hath made choice of, he hath shortened those days.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ And had not the Lord shortened those days, no flesh could escape. But for the sake of the chosen, whom he hath made choice of, he hath shortened those days. ²¹ Now, if at that time, anyone say to you, Lo! the Christ is here! or, Lo! he is there! believe it not. ²² For false Christs and false prophets will rise up and give out signs and wonders to seduce, if possible, even the chosen ones.
