Mark 13:8-13

8 For ¹nation will rise against nation, and ²kingdom against kingdom. There will be ³earthquakes in various places; there will be ⁴famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

9 ⁵“But ⁶be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten ⁷in synagogues, and you will stand before ⁸governors and ⁹kings for my sake, ¹⁰to bear witness before them.

10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed ¹¹to all nations.

11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ¹²do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say ¹³whatever is given you in that hour, ¹⁴for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

12 ¹⁵And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death.

13 ¹⁶And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. ¹⁷But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
