Luke 21:12-17

12“But before all these things, 1they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, turning you over to the synagogues and prisons, 2bringing you before kings and governors on account of My name.

13 3It will lead to 4an opportunity for your testimony.

14 5So 6make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

15for 7I will provide you 8eloquence and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to oppose or refute.

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

17and you will be hated by all people because of My name.
