Luke 21:10-19 - Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution
10 Then said he unto them, "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, one realm against another; 11 and great earthquakes shall be in all quarters, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearful things. And great signs shall there be from heaven. 12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you: delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prison: and bring you before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And this shall chance you for a testimonial. 14 Let it stick therefore fast in your hearts, not once to study before, what ye shall answer for yourselves: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist. 16 Yea, and ye shall be betrayed of your fathers and mothers, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and lovers. And some of you shall they put to death. 17 And hated shall ye be of all men for my name's sake. 18 Yet there shall not one hair of your heads perish. 19 With your patience, possess your souls.
