9 ^g“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to ^hcouncils, and you will be beaten in ⁱsynagogues, and you will stand before ^jgovernors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be ^kproclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ^ldo not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the ^mHoly Spirit. 12 And ⁿbrother will deliver brother over to ^odeath, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. ^pBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.

12 ^aBut before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the ^bsynagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before ^ckings and governors for my name’s sake. 13 This will be your ^dopportunity to bear witness. 14 ^eSettle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for I will ^fgive you a mouth and wisdom, which ^gnone of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be delivered up even by ^hparents and brothers¹ and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to ⁱdeath. 17 You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 ^jBy your endurance you will gain your lives.
