Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ and there shall be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in divers places; and there shall be great terrors and signs from heaven. ¹²  And before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you into their synagogues and prisons, led before kings and governors on account of my name. ¹³ And it shall come to pass to you for a testimony.
