Luke 21:9-19

ISV(i) 9 When you hear of wars and revolutions, never be alarmed, because these sort of things must take place first, but the end won’t come right away.”
10 Then he went on to say to them, “Nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places, and there will be fearful events and awful signs from heaven.”
12 Future Persecutions
“But before all these things take place, people will arrest you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 It will give you an opportunity to testify. 14 So purpose in your hearts not to prepare your defense ahead of time, 15 because I will give you the ability to speak, along with wisdom, that none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated continuously by everyone because of my name. 18 And yet not a hair on your head will be lost. 19 By your endurance you will protect your lives.”
