Mark 13:19-20 CEV      This will be the worst time of suffering since God created the world, and nothing this terrible will ever happen again. (20) If the Lord doesn't make the time shorter, no one will be left alive. But because of his chosen and special ones, he will make the time shorter.

Mark 13:19-20 GNB      For the trouble of those days will be far worse than any the world has ever known from the very beginning when God created the world until the present time. Nor will there ever be anything like it again. (20) But the Lord has reduced the number of those days; if he had not, nobody would survive. For the sake of his chosen people, however, he has reduced those days.

Mark 13:19-20 GW      It will be a time of misery that has not happened from the beginning of God's creation until now, and will certainly never happen again. (20) If the Lord does not reduce that time, no one will be saved. But those days will be reduced because of those whom God has chosen.

Mark 13:19-20 BBE      For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again. (20) And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
