Luke 21:12-24

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. 133It will lead to 4an opportunity for your testimony. 145So 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. 18And yet 9not a hair of your head will perish. 1910By your endurance you will gain your 11lives.

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