*"Yes, I will tell you about the times when this people shall have filled up the cup of their '''iniquity'''; when '''justice''' shall swiftly descend upon this city of our fathers. I am about to leave you. I go to the Father. After I leave you, take heed that no man deceive you, for many will come as deliverers and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled, for though all these things will happen, the end of Jerusalem is not yet at hand. You should not be perturbed by famines or earthquakes, neither should you be concerned when you are delivered up to the civil authorities and are persecuted for the sake of the gospel. You will be thrown out of the synagogue and put in prison for my sake, and some of you will be killed. When you are brought up before governors and rulers, it shall be for '''a testimony of your faith''' and to show your '''steadfastness in the gospel of the kingdom'''. And when you stand before judges, be not anxious beforehand as to what you should say, for the '''spirit''' will teach you in that very hour what you should answer your adversaries. In these days of travail, even your own kinsfolk, under the leadership of those who have rejected the Son of Man, will deliver you up to prison and death. For a time you may be hated by all men for my sake, but even in these persecutions I will not forsake you. My spirit will not desert you. '''Be patient'''! Doubt not that this gospel of the kingdom will triumph over all enemies, and eventually be proclaimed to all nations."
