Luke 21:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² But previous to all this, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, turning you over to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be led away before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

¹³ This will be a time (an opportunity) for you to bear testimony.

¹⁴ Resolve and settle it in your minds not to meditate and prepare beforehand how you are to make your defense and how you will answer.
