Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines and plagues. And there shall be terrors and great signs from Heaven. ¹² But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. ¹³ And it shall return to you for a testimony.
