Matthew 24:22
World English Bible (WEB)
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
In context
20 Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21 for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 “Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24 For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
