7 And the disciples asked him, saying, Master, when shall these things be? And what sign wilt thou show, when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, The time draweth near, and therefore take heed that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; go ye not therefore after them.
9 And when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but this is not the end.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights, and great signs shall there be from heaven.
11 But before all these things shall come, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you; delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons; being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
12 Settle this therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer;
13 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
14 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
15 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
16 And ye shall be hated of all the world for my name's sake.
17 But there shall not a hair of your head perish.
