Luke 21:12

Jesus Foretells Wars And Persecution

¹¹ there will be great earthquakes with famine and pestilence here and there, there will be awful portents and great signs from heaven. ¹² But before all that, men will lay hands on you and persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and prisons; you will be dragged before kings and governors for the sake of my name. ¹³ That will turn out an opportunity for you to bear witness.
