Signs and Persecution

8

And 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.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

But 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.

13

And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish.

19

By your patience possesse your soules.
