15. “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16. then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house,
18. and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
19. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
20. Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
21. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
22. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
