Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ and there will be great earthquakes in several places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and great prodigies from heaven. ¹²  But before all these things they will lay hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake: ¹³ but it shall be for a testimony to you.
