And when ye shall hear battles and strives within [But when ye shall hear battles and dissensions within], do not ye be afeared; it behooveth first these things to be done, but not yet at once is an end [but not yet anon the end].
10
Then he said to them, Folk shall rise against folk, and realm against realm;
11
and great movings of the earth shall be by places, and pestilences, and hungers, and dreads from heaven, and great tokens shall be.
12
But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking into synagogues and keepings, drawing you to kings and to justices [+betaking into synagogues and keepings, either prisons, drawing to kings and mayors, or justices], for my name;
13
but it shall fall to you into witnessing.
14
Therefore put ye in your hearts, not to think before, how ye shall answer;
15
for I shall give to you mouth and wisdom, to which all your adversaries shall not be able to against-stand, and gainsay [and against-say].
16
And ye shall be taken of father, and mother [Soothly ye shall be betrayed of father, and mother], and brethren, and cousins, and friends, and by death they shall torment [some] of you;
17
and ye shall be in hate to all men for my name. [and ye shall be hated of all men for my name.]
18
And an hair of your head shall not perish;
19
in your patience ye shall wield your souls.
