Mat 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
Mat 24:17 let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house;
Mat 24:18 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
Mat 24:19 And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath.
Mat 24:21 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.
Mat 24:22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
