Bible Question: Verses 12ff said that they will be persecuted. How can v12 and v18 be reconciled? |
Bible Answer: Read the entire passage from 21:10-19. The idea that not a hair on your head will perish and persecution are mutually exclusive takes the message out of context. Luke is not saying that they will not have physical harm come to them (v.12) but because of this they will have the opportunity to testify (v.13). In regards to v. 18 continue on to verse 19. The idea here is that God knows us and is watching over us. Those who persecute can only kill the body but God gives us life both here and for eternity. See Luke 12:4-9. Just for reference, a great book on bible study is Living by the Book by Henderson and Henderson. |
