Luke 21:12–19

Jesus said to his disciples, “But before
all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you
over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and
governors because of my name. This will give you an opportunity to testify. So
make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; for I will give you
words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or
contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and
friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all
because of my name. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance
you will gain your souls.”

 

Reflection

 

•         
How do I feel when I was
betrayed?

•         
Do
I believe that God is very close to me when I was betrayed even by those
closest to me?
