15. and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out his house:
16. and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
17. But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
18. And pray ye that it be not in the winter.
19. For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.
20. And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21. And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not:
22. for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23. But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25. and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
26. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27. And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28. Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;
29. even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors.
30. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.
