9 Then they will arrest you, they will persecute you, and they will kill you. All people will hate you because of me.10 At that time many believers will give up believing. They will betray one another and hate one another.11 Many false prophets will come and deceive many people.12 The increasing evil will lead the love of many to grow cold,13 but those who hold out to the end will be saved.14 The good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed around the whole world so everyone will be able to hear it, and then the end will come.15 So when you see the ‘idolatry that defiles’ standing in the holy place that the prophet Daniel spoke about (those who read this please consider carefully),16 then the people living in Judea should run away to the mountains.17 Anyone who is on the housetop must not go down and fetch what's in the house.18 Anyone who is out in the fields must not go back to get a coat.19 How awful it will be for those who are pregnant, and those who are nursing babies at that time!20 Pray that you don't have to run away in winter, or on the Sabbath day.21 For at that time there will be terrible persecution—more terrible than anything that has happened from the beginning of the world up till now, and won't ever happen again.22 Unless those days are cut short, nobody will be saved, but for the sake of the chosen those days will be cut short.
