Matthew 24:22
Douay-Rheims
And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
John Chrysostom
But that the Jews should not say that these evils came because of the preaching and the disciples of Christ, He shews them that had it not been for His disciples, they would have totally perished, but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
