Mark 13:7-9

7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.

8For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines. These are but the beginning of birth pains.

9“You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over to councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a witness to them.
