Luca 21:18

18 ma neppure un capello del vostro capo perirà.

Luca 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.

Luca 21:18 In-Context

16 Or voi sarete traditi perfino da genitori, da fratelli, da parenti e da amici; faranno morire parecchi di voi;

17 e sarete odiati da tutti a cagion del mio nome;

18 ma neppure un capello del vostro capo perirà.

19 Con la vostra perseveranza guadagnerete le anime vostre.

20 Quando vedrete Gerusalemme circondata d’eserciti, sappiate allora che la sua desolazione è vicina.
