8He said, "Watch out that you don`t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, `I AM,` 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.
