Luke 21:7-19 Now they inquire of Him, saying, "Teacher, when, then, will these things be, and what is the sign whenever these things may be about to be occurring?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now they inquire of Him, saying, "Teacher, when, then, will these things be, and what is the sign whenever these things may be about to be occurring? ⁸ Now He said, "Beware that you may not be deceived, for many shall be coming in My name, saying that I am!' and 'The season is near!' You may not, then, be going after them." ⁹ Now whenever you should be hearing battles and turbulences you may not be dismayed, for these things must occur first, but not immediately is the consummation." ¹⁰ Then He said to them, "Roused shall be nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." ¹¹ Besides, there shall be great quakes and, in places, famines and pestilences. There shall be fearful sights besides great signs also from heaven." ¹² Yet before all these things they shall be laying their hands on you and they shall be persecuting you, giving you up into the synagogues and jails, being led off to kings and governors on account of My name." ¹³ Yet it shall be eventuating to you for a testimony. ¹⁴ Ponder, then, in your hearts not to be premeditating a defense, ¹⁵ for I will be giving you a mouth and wisdom, which all those opposing you shall not be able to withstand or contradict." ¹⁶ Yet you shall be given up by parents also, and brothers and relatives and friends, and they shall be putting some of you to death." ¹⁷ And you shall be hated by all because of My name. ¹⁸ And a hair of your head should by no means be perishing. ¹⁹ By your endurance shall you be acquiring your souls.
