Luke 21:8-19

8And He saidG3004, “SeeG991 to it that you are not misledG4105; for manyG4183 will comeG2064 in My nameG3686, sayingG3004, ‘1I amG1510 He,’ and, ‘The timeG2540 is nearG1448.’ 2Do not goG4198 afterG3694 them. 9And whenG3752 you hearG191 of warsG4171 and revoltsG181, do not be alarmedG4422; for theseG3778 thingsG3778 mustG1163 takeG1096 placeG1096 firstG4413, but the endG5056 will not follow immediatelyG2112.”

10ThenG5119 He continued by sayingG3004 to them, “NationG1484 will riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, and kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932, 11and there will be 3massiveG3173 earthquakesG4578, and in variousG2596 placesG5117 plaguesG3061 and faminesG3042; and there will be terribleG5400 sightsG5400 and greatG3173 4signsG4592 from heavenG3772.

12“But beforeG4253 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 5they will layG1911 their handsG5495 on you and persecuteG1377 you, turningG3860 you overG3860 to the synagoguesG4864 and prisonsG5438, 6bringingG520 you beforeG1909 kingsG935 and governorsG2232 onG1752 accountG1752 ofG1752 My nameG3686. 137It will leadG576 to 8an opportunity for your testimonyG3142. 149SoG3767 10makeG5087 upG5087 your mindsG2588 not to prepareG4304 beforehandG4304 to defendG626 yourselves; 15for 11I will provideG1325 you 12eloquenceG4750 and wisdomG4678 whichG3739 noneG3756G537 of your adversariesG480 will be ableG1410 to opposeG436 orG2228 refuteG471. 16But you will be betrayedG3860 evenG2532 by parentsG1118, brothersG80 and sisters, other relativesG4773, and friendsG5384, and they will putG2289 some of you toG2289 deathG2289, 17and you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 peopleG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686. 18And yet 13not a hairG2359 of your headG2776 will perishG622. 1914By your enduranceG5281 you will gainG2932 your 15livesG5590.
