15. And let whoever is on the rooftop not descend to the house, nor enter so as to take anything from the house.
16. And let whoever may be in the field not return to take his garment.
17. But woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
18. Truly, pray that these things may not happen in winter.
19. For those days shall have such tribulations as have not been since the beginning of the creation that God founded, even until now, and shall not be.
20. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would be saved. But, for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
21. And then, if anyone will have said to you: 'Behold, here is the Christ. Behold, in that place.' Do not believe it.
22. For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and they will present signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect.
23. Therefore, you must take heed. Behold, I have foretold all to you.
24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her splendor.
