Matthew 10:21-23

10:21 “Brother ¹  will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against ²  parents and have them put to death. 10:22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 10:23 Whenever ³  they persecute you in one place, ⁴  flee to another. I tell you the truth, ⁵  you will not finish going through all the towns ⁶  of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
