Luke 21:7-19

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Then they asked Him, saying, “Master, but when shall these things be? And what sign shall there be when these things shall happen?”

⁸ And He said, “Watch carefully, so that you are not deceived. For many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am Christ,’ and ‘The time draws near.’ Therefore, do not follow them.

⁹ “And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be afraid. For these things must come first. But the end will not follow right away.”

¹⁰ Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

¹¹ “And great earthquakes shall occur in diverse places. And hunger and pestilence and fearful things and great signs from Heaven shall happen.

¹² “But before all these things, 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 result in a testimonial for you.

¹⁴ “Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to prepare what you shall answer beforehand.

¹⁵ “For I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, against which all your adversaries shall not be able to speak or resist.

¹⁶ “Indeed, you shall also be betrayed by your parents and by your brothers, and kinsmen, and friends. And they shall put you to death.

¹⁷ “And you shall be hated by all, for My Name’s sake.

¹⁸ “Yet, not one hair of your heads shall perish.

¹⁹ “By your patience, gain your souls.
