16 "Even your parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends will hand you over to the authorities. They will put some of you to death.
17 Everyone will hate you because of me.
18 But not a hair on your head will be harmed.
19 If you stand firm, you will gain life.
20 "A time is coming when you will see armies surround Jerusalem. Then you will know that it will soon be destroyed.
21 Those who are in Judea should then escape to the mountains. Those in the city should get out. Those in the country should not enter the city.
22 This is the time when God will punish Jerusalem. Everything will come true, just as it has been written.
