Luke 21:12-19

12“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, turning you over to the synagogues and prisons, and bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

13This will be a time and an opportunity for you to testify [about Me].

14So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

15for I will give you [skillful] words and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

16But you will be betrayed and handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

17and you will be continually hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name.

18But not a hair of your head will perish.

19By your [patient] endurance [empowered by the Holy Spirit] you will gain your souls.
