14
So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:
15
For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.
16
But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
17
And you will be hated by all men, because of me.
18
But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.
19
By going through all these things, you will keep your lives.
20
But when you see armies all round about Jerusalem, then be certain that her destruction is near.
21
Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.
22
For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.
23
It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.
24
And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.
