Mark 13:19-23 MWT For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. (20) And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be left alive. But for the sake of the elect, the ones being chosen, he shortened the days. (21) And then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. (22) For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the ones chosen. (23) But be awake and on guard; I have told you all these things beforehand.

Mark 13:19-23 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. (21) If someone should say, "Here is the Messiah!" or "There he is!" don't believe it. (22) False messiahs and false prophets will come and work miracles and signs. They will even try to fool God's chosen ones. (23) But be on your guard! That's why I am telling you these things now.

Mark 13:19-23 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. (21) "Then, if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'Look, there he is!'---do not believe it. (22) For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will perform miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible. (23) Be on your guard! I have told you everything ahead of time.

Mark 13:19-23 NWT 19 for those days will be [days of] a tribulation such as has not occurred from [the] beginning of the creation which God created until that time, and will not occur again. 20 In fact, unless Jehovah had cut short the days, no flesh would be saved. But on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen he has cut short the days. 21 “Then, too, if anyone says to YOU, ‘See! Here is the Christ,’ ‘See! There he is,’ do not believe [it]. 22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the chosen ones. 23 YOU, then, watch out; I have told YOU all things beforehand.

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.
