12
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name’s sake.
13
And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
14
Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
16
And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren and kinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death.
17
And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18
But a hair of your head shall not perish.
19
In your patience you shall possess your souls.
20
And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.
21
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the countries not enter into it.
22
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
