Luke 21:8-24

⁸And he sayd, Take heede, that ye be not deceiued: for many will come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: follow ye not them therefore.

⁹And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by.

¹⁰Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome,

¹¹And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, and great signes shall there be from heauen.

¹²But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake.

¹³And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall.

¹⁴Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere.

¹⁵For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist.

¹⁶Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death.

¹⁷And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake.

¹⁸Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.

¹⁹By your patience possesse your soules.

²⁰And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere.

²¹Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein.

²²For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written.

²³But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people.

²⁴And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
