Mark 13:21

Read in context

Mark 13:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 For those will be days of tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.
