Luke 21:9-12

English Standard Version

⁹ And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be ^(A)terrified, for these things ^(B)must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

¹⁰ Then he said to them, ^(C)“Nation will rise against nation, and ^(D)kingdom against kingdom. ¹¹ There will be great ^(E)earthquakes, and in various places ^(F)famines and pestilences. And there will be ^(G)terrors and great ^(H)signs from heaven. ¹² But before all this ^(I)they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to ^(J)the synagogues and ^(K)prisons, and you ^(L)will be brought before ^(M)kings and ^(N)governors for my name's sake.
