Luke 21:12-19

New International Version

¹² “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. ¹³ And so you will bear testimony to me.^{(A) 14} But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.^{(B) 15} For I will give you^(C) words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. ¹⁶ You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends,^(D) and they will put some of you to death. ¹⁷ Everyone will hate you because of me.^{(E) 18} But not a hair of your head will perish.^{(F) 19} Stand firm, and you will win life.^(G)
