Luke 21:7-19
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign shall there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 (A)And he said, Take heed, that ye be not deceived: for many will come [a]in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth near: follow ye not them therefore.
9 [b]And when ye hear of wars and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the end followeth not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
11 (B)And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearful things, and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Name’s sake.
13 And this shall turn to you, for a [c]testimonial.
14 (C)Lay it up therefore in your hearts, that ye cast not beforehand what ye shall answer.
15 For I will give you a mouth, and wisdom where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.
16 Yea, ye shall be betrayed also of your parents and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friends, and some of you shall they put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name’s sake.
18 (D)Yet there shall not one hair of your heads perish.
19 By your patience [d]possess your souls.
