Riverside(i)
7 They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when they are about to happen?"
8 He said, "Be on your guard against being misled. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Do not follow them.
9 And when you hear of wars and disorders, do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not come immediately."
10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,
11 and there will be great earthquakes in various places, and pestilences and famines and terrors and great portents from heaven.
12 Before all these things they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors because of my name.
13 It will turn out your opportunity for testimony.
14 Settle it, then, in your hearts not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves.
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opponents will be unable to resist or reply to.
16 You will be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death
17 and you will be hated by all on account of my name.
18 Yet not a hair of your head will perish.
19 By your endurance you will win your lives.
