20 But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.
22 And unless those days had been shortened, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
23 “At that time if anyone should say to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here he is,’ do not believe him!
24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25 Behold, I have told you ahead of time!
26 Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it!
