Luke 21:12-19 "But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² "But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake. ¹³ In the end all this will be evidence of your fidelity. ¹⁴ "Make up your minds, however, not to prepare a defence beforehand, ¹⁵ for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to withstand or reply to. ¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, friends; and some of you they will put to death. ¹⁷ You will be the objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; ¹⁸ and yet not a hair of your heads shall perish. ¹⁹ By your patient endurance you will purchase your lives.
