Luke 21:10–18
10Then he said to them,“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.↗
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.↗
12But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.↗
13It will turn out as a testimony for you.↗
14Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,↗
15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.↗
16You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.↗
17You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.↗
18And not a hair of your head will perish.↗
