Matthew

Matthew 24:15–18

¹⁵So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’^a spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), ¹⁶then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁷Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. ¹⁸And let no one in the field return for his cloak.
