Context of Luke 21:10
8And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them. 9But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet. Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11And great earthquakes shall be in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 12But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.
