Matthew 24:21-24 For then will be great suffering, such as has never happened from the beginning of the world until now, and never will be again.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ For then will be great suffering, such as has never happened from the beginning of the world until now, and never will be again. ²² And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would live; but for the sake of the chosen ones those days will be shortened. ²³ Then if any man should say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there, do not believe it. ²⁴ For there will rise false Christs and lying prophets, and they will show signs and great wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
