While some people were speaking about
how the temple was adorned with costly stones and
votive offerings,
Jesus said, "All that you see here--
the days will come when there will not be left
a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown
down."
Then they asked him,
"Teacher, when will this happen?
And what sign will there be when all these things
are about to happen?"
He answered,
"See that you not be deceived,
for many will come in my name, saying,
'I am he,' and 'The time has come.'
Do not follow them!
When you hear of wars and insurrections,
do not be terrified; for such things must happen
first,
but it will not immediately be the end."
Then he said to them,
"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom.
There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and
plagues
from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from
the sky.
"Before all this happens, however,
they will seize and persecute you,
they will hand you over to the synagogues and to
prisons,
and they will have you led before kings and
governors
because of my name.
It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense
beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking
that all your adversaries will be powerless to
resist or refute.
You will even be handed over by parents, brothers,
relatives, and friends,
and they will put some of you to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name,
but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
By your perseverance you will secure your lives."
Luke 21:5-19
