Matthew 24:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.

²¹ For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now—no, and never will be [again].^(A)

²² And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones) those days will be shortened.
