They will cause some of you to be put to death. 021:017 You will be hated by all men for my name's sake. 021:018 And not a hair of your head will perish. 021:019 "By your endurance you will win your lives. 021:020 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand. 021:021 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
