Then he told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
In context
8He said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time has come.’ Do not go after them. 9And when you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be terrified; these things must happen first, but the end does not follow at once.” 10Then he told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11There will be great earthquakes, and famines and plagues in place after place; there will be terrors, and great signs from heaven. 12But before all this they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be led before kings and governors for the sake of my name.
