Context of Luke 21:16

14So prepare your minds. You must decide not to think about how to answer the questions of kings and rulers. Wait until that time comes. 15I will give you the right words to speak at that time. I will help you to be wise. The people who are against you will not be able to argue with you. They will just be quiet. Even your parents and other people in your family will take hold of you. They will make you stand in front of kings and rulers. They will even kill some of you. 17Everybody will hate you because you are my disciples. 18But your life will be safe with me. You will not lose even one hair from your head.
