Matthew 24:8 in Context — Matthew 24

6 Y oiréis guerras, y rumores de guerras: mirad que no os turbéis; porque es menester que todo [esto] acontezca; mas aún no es el fin.

7 Porque se levantará nación contra nación, y reino contra reino; y habrá pestilencias, y hambres, y terremotos por los lugares.

8 Y todas estas cosas, principio de dolores.

9 Entonces os entregarán para ser afligidos, y os matarán; y seréis aborrecidos de todas las gentes por causa de mi nombre.

10 Y muchos entonces serán escandalizados; y se entregarán unos á otros, y unos á otros se aborrecerán.
