Mark 13:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ You will hear about wars. You will hear that war is coming. But do not fear. These things must happen, but that is not yet the end.

⁸ One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The earth will shake in many different places. People will have no food to eat. These troubles are only the beginning of the troubles that will come.

⁹ `But you must take care. Men will take you to court. They will beat you in their meeting houses. They will take you to rulers and kings because you are true to me. You will talk to them about me.
