Luke 21:10-19 - Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution
10 Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 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. 14 Fix it therefore in your hearts not to premeditate a defence: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, 15 which all your adversaries shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. 16 But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and kindred and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death: 17 and ye will be hated by all men for my sake. 18 But not an hair of your head shall perish. 19 In your patience therefore possess your souls.
