Luke 21:12-17 ▼

12 “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

13 It will result in an opportunity for your testimony.

14 So set in your hearts not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

16 But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

17 and you will be hated by all because of My name.
