17Everyone will hate you because you are committed to me. 18But not a hair on your head will be lost. By your endurance you will save your life. 20“When you see armies camped around Jerusalem, realize that the time is near for it to be destroyed. 21Then those of you in Judea should flee to the mountains. Those of you in Jerusalem should leave it. Those of you in the fields shouldn’t go back into them.
