Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ And great earthquakes shall be in divers 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 on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my names sake. ¹³ And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
