Luke 21:16–18

21:16 You will be betrayed even by parents,39 brothers, relatives,40 and friends, and they will have some of you put to death. 21:17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name.41 21:18 Yet42 not a hair of your head will perish.43

39	sn To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.
40	tn Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
41	* Lk 6:22 Lk 6:27 1 Co 1:25–31
42	tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
43	sn Given v. 16, the expression not a hair of your head will perish must be taken figuratively and refer to living ultimately in the presence of God.
