Mark 13:20-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
20And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. 21And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Look, there He is’; do not believe it; 22for false christs and false prophets will arise, and will provide signs and wonders, in order to mislead, if possible, the elect. 23But beware; I have told you everything in advance.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,
25AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
26And then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.
27And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.
King James Version
Chapter 13
20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.Christian Standard Bible
21"Then if anyone tells you, ‘See, here is the Messiah! See, there!’ do not believe it.
22For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.
24"But in those days, after that tribulation: The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light;
25the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27He will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
New Living Translation
21Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it.
22For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.
23Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!
English Standard Version
