Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven. ¹² But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name. ¹³ And it will be turned to a witness for you.
