Luke 21:12-24

12“But before all these things, 1they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, 2bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. 133It will lead to 4an opportunity for your testimony. 145So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15for 6I will give you 7utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, 17and you will be hated by all because of My name. 18Yet 8not a hair of your head will perish. 199By your endurance you will gain your 10lives.

20“But when you see Jerusalem 11surrounded by armies, then 12recognize that her desolation is near. 21Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of 13the city must leave, and 14those who are in the country must not enter 15the city; 22because these are 16days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. 23Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for 17there will be great distress upon the 18land and wrath to this people; 24and they will fall by 19the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and 20Jerusalem will be 21trampled under foot by the Gentiles until 22the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
