8. Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them.
9. And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.
10. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.
12. But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.
13. And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
14. Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
