Luke 21:12

Witnessing to All Nations

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.
