Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. ¹² But before all these things they shall lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name; ¹³ but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.
