Luke 21:8-19

8And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘1I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ 2Do not go after them. 9And when you hear of wars and revolts, do not be alarmed; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.”

10Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, 11and there will be 3massive earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrible sights and great 4signs from heaven.

12“But before all these things, 5they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, turning you over to the synagogues and prisons, 6bringing you before kings and governors on account of My name. 137It will lead to 8an opportunity for your testimony. 149So 10make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15for 11I will provide you 12eloquence 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 13not a hair of your head will perish. 1914By your endurance you will gain your 15lives.
