Matthew 24:22-24 for unless the time was to be short, very few could escape, but for the sake of the converts the time shall be short.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² for unless the time was to be short, very few could escape, but for the sake of the converts the time shall be short. ²³ Then if any shall cry, the Messiah is here, or he is there: give no credit to it. ²⁴ for there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew such astonishing miracles and prodigies, as to deceive, if that can do it, the very converts themselves.
