Witnessing to All Nations

The disciples will be handed over to persecution and death, and all nations will hate them because of his name. Many will fall away, betray one another, and be deceived by false prophets, while the love of most grows cold because wickedness multiplies.

T9hen they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11and many false prophets will arise and deceive many. 12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

The one who perseveres to the end will be saved, and the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations before the end comes.

13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Section summaryJesus warns that his followers will be handed over, hated, and tested by betrayal and false prophecy. Yet the gospel of the kingdom will be preached to all nations, and the one who endures to the end will be saved.
