1331. Prayer terrifies the evil one

The Book of Truth:
Thursday, February 12th, 2015, 18:00
My dearly beloved daughter, I ask all Christians in every part of the world to increase the time they spend in prayer for the power to defeat sin, which strangles the world and which brings suffering and every kind of hardship in its wake.

 

Sin can be destroyed through prayer. Prayer is the most powerful weapon against evil and the more you turn to Me, your Jesus, the more I can defeat My adversary. While I do not make any demands on you, which burden your hearts, I ask only that you call on Me to help sinners to avoid the wickedness, which can spring up within their hearts at any moment.

The power of Satan is at a point when those with no faith or belief in God, are easily manipulated by him. He goads them and tempts them at every opportunity. Man, in Satan’s eyes, is a mirror reflection of God, Who created man in His Own Image. Satan hates every single human being with an intensity that would take your breath away. It is only the man who is alert to his tactics who can see the Truth when evil takes many forms. Only the man who is open to the Word of God – who loves and knows Him – can ward off the influence of the deceiver through the power of prayer.

Prayer terrifies the evil one and weakens the grip he holds over humanity. Prayer is more powerful than a sword that is used in battle, for it does not merely wound the enemy but destroys him.

Your Jesus ”

True Life in God:

Let Me Perfect You

March 20, 1989

(France, Lourdes)

Vassula, it is I, Jesus; do not allow the deceiver to deceive you; all that I have given you is Mine;

He is tempting me to doubt …

why do you listen to him? I have trained your ear, have I not? I have opened your eyes to see Me, so why do you doubt? many servants of Mine have been given the same gift as yours, so why do you doubt? Vassula, My lamb, I am your Good Shepherd who leads you in green pastures to rest; I shelter you in My Arms, I feed you My Virtues, I let you repose in My Heart; My Eyes are upon you always; so why do you doubt of My Works?

Because I, myself, am no good.

I know, but let Me perfect you; see? 1 I am Love; together now, I and you, your hand in My Hand, I shall not leave your hand, so that you remember My Presence;

come, we, us?

Yes, Lord.

let Me hear it then;

(Later on, at Lourdes. We went to visit the grotto where Our Lady appeared to Saint Bernadette. We visited the Crypt, which was the first church built after the apparitions. In there I had a locution from Our Holy Mother, She said:)

“In the end, Our Hearts will prevail”

Wednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 331

Reading 1 1 Kgs 10:1-10

The queen of Sheba, having heard of Solomon’s fame,
came to test him with subtle questions.
She arrived in Jerusalem with a very numerous retinue,
and with camels bearing spices,
a large amount of gold, and precious stones.
She came to Solomon and questioned him on every subject
in which she was interested.
King Solomon explained everything she asked about,
and there remained nothing hidden from him
that he could not explain to her.

When the queen of Sheba witnessed Solomon’s great wisdom,
the palace he had built, the food at his table,
the seating of his ministers, the attendance and garb of his waiters,
his banquet service,
and the burnt offerings he offered in the temple of the LORD,
she was breathless.
“The report I heard in my country
about your deeds and your wisdom is true,” she told the king.
“Though I did not believe the report until I came and saw with my own eyes,
I have discovered that they were not telling me the half.
Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard.
Blessed are your men, blessed these servants of yours,
who stand before you always and listen to your wisdom.
Blessed be the LORD, your God,
whom it has pleased to place you on the throne of Israel.
In his enduring love for Israel,
the LORD has made you king to carry out judgment and justice.”
Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty gold talents,
a very large quantity of spices, and precious stones.
Never again did anyone bring such an abundance of spices
as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

Responsorial Psalm 37:5-6, 30-31, 39-40

R.    (30a)  The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.
Commit to the LORD your way;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make justice dawn for you like the light;
bright as the noonday shall be your vindication.
R.    The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.
The mouth of the just man tells of wisdom
and his tongue utters what is right.
The law of his God is in his heart,
and his steps do not falter.
R.    The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.
The salvation of the just is from the LORD;
he is their refuge in time of distress.
And the LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
R.    The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.

Alleluia Jn 17:17b, 17a

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Your word, O Lord, is truth:
consecrate us in the truth.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 7:14-23

Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them,
“Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person;
but the things that come out from within are what defile.”

When he got home away from the crowd
his disciples questioned him about the parable.
He said to them,
“Are even you likewise without understanding?
Do you not realize that everything
that goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters not the heart but the stomach
and passes out into the latrine?”
(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
“But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him.
From within the man, from his heart,
come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.

All these evils come from within and they defile.””

Orthodox:

The Promise of the Lord’s Coming

3.1 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you; in them I am trying to arouse your sincere intention by reminding you that you should remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles. First of all you must understand this, that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and indulging their own lusts and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died,[a] all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation!” They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water, through which the world of that time was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the godless.

But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you,[b] not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.[c]

11 Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening[d] the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire? 13 But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.

Final Exhortation and Doxology

14 Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; 15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.[e]

—————

The Coming of the Son of Man

24 “But in those days, after that suffering,

the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from heaven,
    and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

26 Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory. 27 Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

28 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he[a] is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

1330. I can reveal only so much to you before I separate the sheep from the goats
February 11th, 2015, 15:16
….

Today your Lord has spoken and today is the day when the changes, as foretold, will commence.

The Day of the First Resurrection is coming and those who won’t accept Me will be cast away for eternity. My anger is great at this time and if you were to witness the dull grey and darkened souls of those with lukewarm hearts it would cause you to weep. Sadly, the majority of souls are in darkness and were you to see this you would die of shock such is the state of the souls of humanity.

Your Jesus”

Pray for the protection of my Son’s Church on earth and ask my Son to grant Mercy to everyone who tries to crucify it.

The Book of Truth:
Sorry! For this message was omitted from the hungarian list so I accidentally omitted it:


Tuesday, February 10th, 2015, 14:36

My dear children, it is important that all of you recite the Crusade Prayers and my Most Holy Rosary as part of your daily prayers. You may choose whichever prayers that you select, not necessarily every Prayer, but those which are according to your desire. My Most Holy Rosary must be recited daily against the influence of the evil one.Prayer brings you closer to God and protects the souls of all those who request the help of my Son against the power of the deceiver. Prayer is the greatest weapon against evil and you must never underestimate the power that it yields.Pray for the protection of my Son’s Church on earth and ask my Son to grant Mercy to everyone who tries to crucify it. This Church – the Body and the Temple of my Son – is the path through which all glory will be given to God. The Teachings, the Word and the Holy Eucharist, that is the Body and the Blood of my Son, Jesus Christ, were Gifts given to humanity for the salvation of souls. You must uphold the Truth and prepare to accept my Son’s Mercy.

I urge that you pray for souls who refute the Truth and beg my Son to pour His Mercy over their souls. My Son is Life. All Life comes from Him. Reject my Son and you will not sustain life in His Kingdom to come.

My Son has asked me to plead for your prayers for the souls of those who will reject Him. He will hear the prayers you offer up for all of your loved ones and for those who will be unable to accept the Light when it shines like a beacon and covers humanity.

The souls who are alight with the love and humility necessary to receive my Son will rejoice. Those with darkness in their souls will shun the Light, as they will find it painful to see the Truth. Pray with all your hearts for the souls who are in most need of my Son’s Mercy now and every day from now on.

Without your prayers many will be lost and they will pine for eternity, for the company of my Son, but He will be nowhere for them to find.

I leave you with my love, my protection and my peace. Please respond to my call for the salvation of souls.

Your beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

Prophecy: Russia Will Govern The Rest Of My Children In Holiness

October 20, 1992

(Russia – Moscow)

Russia will honour You in her poverty. Perhaps UNITY will come through her since You say that she will be the one who will glorify You most. Weren’t these Your Sighs of Your sacerdotal Prayer to the Father?

come, write:

My Peace I give you;
I am the Resurrection,

and resurrection shall soon take place in My daughter Russia; do not be judge of her sons and daughters so that I will not be compelled to judge you; were anyone perfect among you, you would still count for nothing in My Perfection; soon the Glory will be given to Me in its fullness and Russia will govern the rest of My children in holiness;

I, the Lord, am asking you for your prayers, your sacrifices and expiations so that all these things may lead My Russia near Me; in her wretchedness I will show My Mercy, in her weakness, My Power and My Authority, in her nothingness

all that I Am

and in her aridity I shall make Rivers flow out of her, I shall uproot in her all that is not Me and in these empty spaces, plant My Graces in her; I shall plant seeds of Love and Peace,

“Russia, it is not long ago since you broke your alliance with Me, burst your bonds and said: ‘I will not serve You!’ now I shall give you children who will proclaim My Name in Holiness and say: ‘blessed is He who restored our sight and touched our heart; blessed is He who changed our ways healing us;’ then, with Me in you and you in Me,

you will live

and with Our Two Hearts in your heart you will give Me the Glory foretold;”

Vassula, My bride, for My sake, pray for the full conversion of Russia;

I, the Lord, bless you, My child; never forget that I am He who loves you most; My Heart can be touched ….

(Later on that evening I was invited with a friend by a Russian Orthodox priest who works for Unity to assist a meeting on Tradition. The Lady President said that anyone who wants to speak from the audience, will have eight minutes.

The Russian Orthodox priest asked the President on a piece of paper which was passed on to her, whether I could speak to the crowd too. I presume she knew who I was because she sent back a note saying ‘no’.

The priest again wrote a second note, sent it to her, and her reply was once more negative. It was becoming a matter now for the angels to intervene. I called my angel, and asked him to gather the other angels who surround me to go and speak to her angel and make her change her mind.

Just then I felt Jesus intervening, as though He was asking Me: “What are you doing!?” “I am sending my angels …” He said: “I have told you before sending you to Russia that you were going to go only as a pilgrim, this time!” I suddenly remembered. But I said like a spoilt child: “O Lord! please, I will not make a discourse; just give me three minutes, just to introduce Your Message, nothing more. It is such an occasion Lord!” Hardly had I finished my words when the President suddenly sent another note allowing me eight minutes of speech. But the Good Lord nevertheless, gave me ten whole minutes ….)”

Tuesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 330

Reading 1 1 Kgs 8:22-23, 27-30

Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD
in the presence of the whole community of Israel,
and stretching forth his hands toward heaven,
he said, “LORD, God of Israel,
there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below;
you keep your covenant of mercy with your servants
who are faithful to you with their whole heart.

“Can it indeed be that God dwells on earth?
If the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you,
how much less this temple which I have built!

Look kindly on the prayer and petition of your servant, O LORD, my God,
and listen to the cry of supplication which I, your servant,
utter before you this day.
May your eyes watch night and day over this temple,
the place where you have decreed you shall be honored;
may you heed the
prayer which I, your servant, offer in this place.
Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel
which they offer in this place.
Listen from your heavenly dwelling and grant pardon.”

Responsorial Psalm 84:3, 4, 5 and 10, 11

R.    (2)  How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!
My soul yearns and pines
for the courts of the LORD.
My heart and my flesh
cry out for the living God.
R.    How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!
Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest
in which she puts her young—
Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
my king and my God!
R.    How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!
Blessed they who dwell in your house!
continually they praise you.
O God, behold our shield,
and look upon the face of your anointed.
R.    How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!
I had rather one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I had rather lie at the threshold of the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
R.    How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!

Alleluia Ps 119:36, 29b

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Incline my heart, O God, to your decrees;
and favor me with your law.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 7:1-13

When the Pharisees with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem
gathered around Jesus,
they observed that some of his disciples ate their meals
with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
(For the Pharisees and, in fact, all Jews,
do not eat without carefully washing their hands,
keeping the tradition of the elders.
And on coming from the marketplace
they do not eat without purifying themselves.
And there are many other things that they have traditionally observed,
the purification of cups and jugs and kettles and beds.)
So the Pharisees and scribes questioned him,
“Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders
but instead eat a meal with unclean hands?”
He responded,
“Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites,
as it is written:

This people honors me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me;
In vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines human precepts.

You disregard God’s commandment but cling to human tradition.”
He went on to say,
“How well you have set aside the commandment of God
in order to uphold your tradition!
For Moses said,
Honor your father and your mother,
and Whoever curses father or mother shall die.
Yet you say,
‘If someone says to father or mother,
“Any support you might have had from me is qorban”’
(meaning, dedicated to God),
you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother.
You
nullify the word of God
in favor of your tradition that you have handed on.
And you do
many such things.””

Orthodox:

then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment 10 —especially those who indulge their flesh in depraved lust, and who despise authority.Bold and willful, they are not afraid to slander the glorious ones,[a] 11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring against them a slanderous judgment from the Lord.[b] 12 These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and when those creatures are destroyed,[c] they also will be destroyed, 13 suffering[d] the penalty for doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their dissipation[e] while they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15 They have left the straight road and have gone astray, following the road of Balaam son of Bosor,[f] who loved the wages of doing wrong, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the deepest darkness has been reserved. 18 For they speak bombastic nonsense, and with licentious desires of the flesh they entice people who have just[g] escaped from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for people are slaves to whatever masters them. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was passed on to them. 22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb,

“The dog turns back to its own vomit,”

and,

“The sow is washed only to wallow in the mud.”

O What Sorrow You Cause Me, Generation

May 30, 1995

(Back to Bethlehem.)

Vassula, I am with you and all I ask is love;

tell them and let them all understand that love is the way to heaven; love conquers hearts and enlarges My Kingdom; love is the key to end up this Apostasy; love is given to you freely; ask for the gift of love and I will give it to you; My Love Theme1 is given to all nations and those who want to hear it will hear it;

pray, pray, pray, but do it with love; open your hearts and I will heal them; repay evil with love, seek good and Goodness from above will answer you and turn you into Our likeness; I know all things and I observe all things and what I see in this generation is not according to Our likeness; insolence, violence, greed, vainglory, wickedness that surpassed the wickedness of the demons, rebellion against Me and all that is holy, and all the vices that can bring your soul to ruin are what most of this generation practises; every kind of wrong-doing is sin …. lift your eyes and be eager to find Me and do not fall victims to worldly beauty, for the worship of that sort of beauty is the cause of so much evil;

to crown now your wickedness you embroidered your plan to the likeness of the beast and together, 2 generation, you will commit your crime:

to abolish My Perpetual Sacrifice
and erect in its place the disastrous abomination;

 …

“… 

The Desolating Sacrilege

14 “But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 15 the one on the housetop must not go down or enter the house to take anything away; 16 the one in the field must not turn back to get a coat. 17 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not be in winter. 19 For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut short those days. 21 And if anyone says to you at that time, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!’[a] or ‘Look! There he is!’—do not believe it. 22 False messiahs[b] and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be alert; I have already told you everything. …”

So Many Souls Are Heading Into The Eternal Fires

December 26, 1994

You have entrusted me with this Message.
Committed me to take care of Your Interests,
but my oppressors are joining forces
against Your Message to crush it.
What can I do now with my bare hands?

I know; love Me and give yourself some rest;

My child, I shall triumph in the end, so worry now about My Heartbeats; every Heartbeat is a call to a soul to return to Love; My Heartbeats are not all heard and, oh, 1 so many souls are heading into the eternal fires …. all I want from you is an unceasing prayer; be vigilant and use the discernment I have given you; have I not given you enough proof of My Love?

Lord, give me please a visible sign of Your Love.

flower-of-My-Passion, so be it; I shall give you, for the sake of your love, a sign of My Love, not that I have not given you already, but I will augment your perseverance with this sign on you;

I love You to death.

ah …. how these words are a balm to Me and in the mysteries of My Kingdom a salvation to a soul; come, My child!”

Memorial of Saint Scholastica, virgin
Lectionary: 329

Reading 1 1 Kgs 8:1-7, 9-13

The elders of Israel and all the leaders of the tribes,
the princes in the ancestral houses of the children of Israel,
came to King Solomon in Jerusalem,
to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant
from the City of David, which is Zion.
All the people of Israel assembled before King Solomon
during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month).
When all the elders of Israel had arrived,

the priests took up the ark;
they carried the ark of the LORD
and the meeting tent with all the sacred vessels
that were in the tent.
(The priests and Levites carried them.)

King Solomon and the entire community of Israel
present for the occasion
sacrificed before the ark sheep and oxen
too many to number or count.
The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD
to its place beneath the wings of the cherubim in the sanctuary,
the holy of holies of the temple.
The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark,
sheltering the ark and its poles from above.
There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets
which Moses had put there at Horeb,
when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel
at their departure from the land of Egypt.

When the priests left the holy place,
the
cloud filled the temple of the LORD
so that the priests could no longer minister because of the cloud
,
since the
LORD’s glory had filled the temple of the LORD.
Then Solomon said, “The LORD intends to dwell in the
dark cloud;
I have truly built you a princely house,
a dwelling where you may abide forever.”

Responsorial Psalm 132:6-7, 8-10

R.    (8a)  Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Let us enter into his dwelling,
let us worship at his footstool.
R.    Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Advance, O LORD, to your resting place,
you and the ark of your majesty.
May your priests be clothed with justice;
let your faithful ones shout merrily for joy.
For the sake of David your servant,
reject not the plea of your anointed.
R.    Lord, go up to the place of your rest!

Alleluia Mt 4:23

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 6:53-56

After making the crossing to the other side of the sea,
Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret
and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country
and began
to bring in the sick on mats
to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and begged him that
they might touch only the tassel on his cloak;
and as many as touched it were healed.”

Orthodox:

20 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.[a]

False Prophets and Their Punishment

2.1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Even so, many will follow their licentious ways, and because of these teachers[b] the way of truth will be maligned. And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation, pronounced against them long ago, has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell[c] and committed them to chains[d] of deepest darkness to be kept until the judgment; and if he did not spare the ancient world, even though he saved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood on a world of the ungodly; and if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction[e] and made them an example of what is coming to the ungodly;[f] and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by their lawless deeds that he saw and heard), then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment. …”

Persecution Foretold

“As for yourselves, beware; for they will hand you over to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them. 10 And the good news[a] must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say; but say whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 13 and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
