Luke 21:14-16
New English Translation

14 Therefore be resolved[a] not to rehearse[b] ahead of time how to make your defense. 15 For I will give you the words[c] along with the wisdom[d] that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents,[e] brothers, relatives,[f] and friends, and they will have some of you put to death.

  4. Luke 21:15 tn Grk “and wisdom.”
  5. Luke 21:16 sn To confess Christ might well mean rejection by one’s own family, even by parents.
  6. Luke 21:16 tn Grk “and brothers and relatives,” but καί (kai) has not been translated twice here since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
