Mar 13:18 But pray that it may not happen in the winter.

Mar 13:19 For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

Mar 13:21 And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him;

Mar 13:22 for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
