Luke 21:9

Verse 9 of 38. The 21st of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

5As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,

6“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”

7They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”

8He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

9When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”

10Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

12But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

13It will turn out as a testimony for you.
