‏ Luke 21:12-19

12 But before all this ^athey will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to ^bthe synagogues and ^cprisons, and you ^dwill be brought before ^ekings and ^fgovernors for my name’s sake. 13 ^gThis will be your opportunity to bear witness. 14 Settle it therefore in your minds ^hnot to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for ⁱI will give you a mouth and ^jwisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or ^kcontradict. 16 You will be delivered up ^leven by parents and brothers ^{▼▼Or parents and brothers and sisters} and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 ⁿYou will be hated by all for my name’s sake. 18 But ^onot a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your ^pendurance you will gain your lives.
