Luke 21:12-24

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 1they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and will persecuteG1377 you, deliveringG3860 you to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 2bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 for My name’sG3686 sakeG1752. 133It will leadG576 to 4an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 145SoG3767 makeG5087 up your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 6I will giveG1325 you 7utteranceG4750 and wisdomG4678 whichG3739 noneG3756G537 of your opponentsG480 will be ableG1410 to resistG436 orG2228 refuteG471. 16But you will be betrayedG3860 evenG2532 by parentsG1118 and brothersG80 and relativesG4773 and friendsG5384, and they will putG2289 some of you to deathG2289, 17and you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 18YetG2532 8not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 199By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 10livesG5590.

20“But whenG3752 you seeG3708 JerusalemG2419 11surroundedG2944 by armiesG4760, thenG5119 12recognizeG1097 that her desolationG2050 is nearG1448. 21ThenG5119 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in JudeaG2453 must fleeG5343 to the mountainsG3735, and thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the midstG3319 of 13the cityG846 must leaveG1633, and 14thoseG3588 whoG3588 are in the countryG5561 must not enterG1525 15the cityG846; 22becauseG3754 theseG3778 are 16daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, so that allG3956 thingsG3956 which are writtenG1125 will be fulfilledG4092. 23WoeG3759 to thoseG3588 who are pregnantG1064 and to thoseG3588 who are nursingG2337 babiesG2337 in thoseG3588 daysG2250; for 17there will be greatG3173 distressG318 upon the 18landG1093 and wrathG3709 to thisG3778 peopleG2992; 24and they will fallG4098 by 19the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, and will be ledG163 captiveG163 into allG3956 the nationsG1484; and 20JerusalemG2419 will be 21trampledG3961 underG3961 foot by the GentilesG1484 untilG891 22the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 are fulfilledG4137.
