Lucas 21:18

18 Mas un pelo de vuestra cabeza no perecerá.

Lucas 21:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:18

But there shall not art hair of your head perish.
] That is, without the will of God, as in ( Matthew 10:29 Matthew 10:30 ) or not one shall perish, but what shall be restored again: or the sense is, that though they should be betrayed by their friends, and hated, and persecuted, and imprisoned by their enemies, yet they should be no losers in the main; all things should work together for their good; and though even they should be put to death, yet that would be to their advantage, since instead of a temporal, troublesome life, they should enjoy an eternal and happy one: for this cannot be understood of entire preservation from all corporeal damages and hurt; seeing it is, before declared, that they should be put into prisons, and some of them put to death; nor of their preservation at the destruction of Jerusalem, for none of them was living at that time, but the Apostle John, and he was not in those parts.

Lucas 21:18 In-Context

16 Mas seréis entregados aun de vuestros padres, y hermanos, y parientes, y amigos; y matarán á algunos de vosotros.
17 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por causa de mi nombre.
18 Mas un pelo de vuestra cabeza no perecerá.
19 En vuestra paciencia poseeréis vuestras almas.
20 Y cuando viereis á Jerusalem cercada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su destrucción ha llegado.
