10 Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign.
11 “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven.
12 “But before all this, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and prisons, and be brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake.
13 “And it shall turn out to you for a witness.
14 “Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer.
15 “For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist.
16 “And you shall also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you shall be put to death.
