Lukas 21:12

21:12 But before all this, ¹  they will seize ²  you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues ³  and prisons. You ⁴  will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.

Lukas 21:17

21:17 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. ⁵ 

[21:12]  ¹ sn But before all this. Another note of timing is present, this one especially important in understanding the sequence in the discourse. Before the things noted in vv. 8-11 are the events of vv. 12-19.

[21:12]  ² tn Grk “will lay their hands on you.”

[21:12]  ³ sn Some of the persecution is of Jewish origin (the synagogues). Some fulfillment of this can be seen in Acts. See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[21:12]  ⁴ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[21:17]  ⁵ sn See Luke 6:22, 27; 1 Cor 1:25-31.
