Luke 21:10-19 - Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution
10 Then, said he unto them - There will rise up, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 As well great earthquakes, as also, in places, pestilences and famines, will there be, as well objects of terror, as also, from heaven, great signs, will there be. 12 And before, all these things, they will thrust upon you their hands, and persecute you, delivering you up into the synagogues and prisons, - when ye have been led away before kings and governors, for the sake of my name; 13 But it shall turn out to you for a witness. 14 Settle, then, in your hearts, not to be studying beforehand, how to make defense; 15 For, I, will give you a mouth and wisdom, which one-and-all who are setting themselves against, you shall be unable to withstand or gainsay. 16 But ye will be delivered up, even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends, and they will put to death some from among you; 17 And ye will be hated by all, because of my name: 18 And, a hair of your head, in nowise shall perish, - 19 By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.
