Luke 21:12–24

¹²But before all these, ^lthey shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and ^minto prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. ¹³And ⁿit shall turn to you for a testimony. ^14oSettle it therefore in your hearts, not to ^pmeditate before what ye shall answer: ¹⁵for I will give you ^qa mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. ¹⁶And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. ¹⁷And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. ¹⁸But ^rthere shall not a hair of your head perish. ¹⁹In your ^spatience ^tpossess ye your souls.

²⁰And when ye shall see Jerusalem ^ucompassed with armies, then know that ^wthe desolation thereof is nigh. ²¹Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; ^xand let not them that are in the ^ycountries enter thereinto. ²²For these be the days of ^zvengeance, that all things ^awhich are written may be fulfilled. ²³But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days, for there shall be great ^bdistress in the land, and wrath upon this people. ²⁴And they shall fall by ^cthe edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be ^dtrodden down of the Gentiles, ^euntil the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
