Signs and Persecution

8

And he said, `See--ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying--I am he , and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them;

9

and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end is not immediately.'

10

Then said he to them, `Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,

11

great shakings also in every place, and famines, and pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great signs from heaven there shall be;

12

and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands, and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake;

13

and it shall become to you for a testimony.

14

`Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply,

15

for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your opposers shall not be able to refute or resist.

16

`And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you to death;

17

and ye shall be hated by all because of my name--

18

and a hair out of your head shall not perish;

19

in your patience possess ye your souls.
