8
For people shall rise against people and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in each place, and there shall be famines and troubles: these
shall be the beginnings of sorrows.
9
But take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up in
the councils, and in
the synagogues ye shall be beaten; and ye shall be called before rulers and kings for my sake for a testimony unto them.
10
And the gospel needs to be preached unto all the Gentiles first.
11
But when they shall bring you to deliver you up, do not premeditate beforehand what ye shall speak, neither think ye regarding
it, but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12
Now the brother shall deliver the brother unto death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against
their parents and shall kill them.
13
And ye shall be hated by everyone for my name, but he that shall persevere unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken
of by Daniel the prophet) standing where it ought not, he that reads,
let him understand, then let those that
are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
15
and let him that
is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter
therein to take any thing out of his house;
16
and let him that is in the field not turn back again
even to take up his garment.
17
But woe to those that are with child and to those that give suck in those days!
18
Pray, therefore, that your flight not be in winter.
