Luke 21: 12-19 - 'Your endurance will win you your lives.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 675 (in 'the Church's ultimate trial') - Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. the supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to daily gospel exegesis. Our goal here, as always, is to help you understand the
0:17.6	literal sense of scripture. What do the words of the Gospels really mean in their
0:22.3	original context? What was Jesus trying to say? How should we understand these words? So we're really
0:27.7	getting it doing a proper exegesis of the text, which is what we should do as Catholics when we sit
0:33.4	down to study the Bible. So the gospel reading you would hear at today's Mass is Luke
0:38.4	chapter 21 verses 12 to 19. Jesus said to his disciples, men will seize you and persecute you.
0:48.3	They will hand you over to the synagogues and to imprisonment and bring you before kings and
0:53.9	governors because of my name.
0:56.5	And that will be your opportunity to bear witness. Keep this carefully in mind. You are not to
1:02.7	prepare your defence, because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your
1:09.3	opponents will be able to resist or contradict.
1:13.3	You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends, and some of you will be
1:20.0	put to death. You'll be hated by all men on account of my name, but not a hair of your head
1:26.7	will be lost. Your endurance will win you
1:30.6	your lives. So that's today's reading that we want to have a look at. It's a challenging
1:36.8	reading in many ways. So let's start at the start, which is verse 12. Now what's the context here?
1:42.9	Jesus has just arrived in Jerusalem. It's the last
1:45.7	week of his life. He's already cleansed the temple and now he's teaching in the temple. He has just
1:51.9	begun, if you've been listening in yesterday's episode, he's just begun predicting the destruction of
1:56.4	the temple and the events leading up to it. And remember in this extended speech here about the
2:02.9	destruction of Jerusalem, he's speaking primarily to his disciples, people who are already his followers,
2:07.9	and that's important to keep in mind. So verse 12 says, Jesus said to his disciples. Now, if you look at
