Mark 13:9-13

New Catholic Bible

The Coming Persecution.^{[a] 9} “Be on your guard. For they will hand you over to courts and beat you in synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of me to testify before them. ¹⁰ But first the gospel must be preached to all nations.

¹¹ “When they arrest you and bring you to trial, do not be concerned beforehand about what you are to say. Simply say whatever is given to you when that time comes, for it will not be you who speak but the Holy Spirit.

¹² “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. ¹³ You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever stands firm to the end will be saved.
