Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

Luke 21

10 Then said he to them, `Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, 11 great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be; 12 and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake; 13 and it shall become to you for a testimony. 14 `Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply, 15 for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist. 16 `And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death; 17 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name -- 18 and a hair out of your head shall not perish; 19 in your patience possess ye your souls.
