Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 21:9-19

9When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”
10Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
12But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors.
13This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses.
14So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
15For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death.
17And you will be hated by everyone because of My name.
18Yet not even a hair of your head will perish.
19By your patient endurance you will gain your souls.
— Luke 21:9-19
