Luke 21:5-19
\n5 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said, 6 \u201cAs for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.\u201d 7 They asked him, \u201cTeacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?\u201d 8 And he said, \u201cBeware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, \u2018I am he!\u2019 and, \u2018The time is near!\u2019 Do not go after them.
\n9 \u201cWhen you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.\u201d 10 Then he said to them, \u201cNation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
\n12 \u201cBut before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. 13 This will give you an opportunity to testify. 14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; 15 for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your souls.
