And to you it shall be for a testimony; you shall have a more ampler occasion of testifying, both before kings and great men, that I am the true Messiah. Your faith, patience, and constancy shall be made more manifest; you shall also testify that my kingdom is not of this world, and that my disciples care not to expect a terrene felicity.

St. Luke is one, and the other is St. Paul, in a passage so closely parallel to this as to read almost like an echo of it (Php. 1:19<\/span>). The testimony is defined by Mar. 13:9<\/span>, as being borne to the kings and rulers before whom the disciples were to stand.<\/p>\n 13<\/strong>. <\/strong> To you for a testimony<\/em> Your persecutions shall be, in the judgment day, a testimony to your faithfulness in behalf of Christ.<\/p>\n “It will turn out to you for a testimony.”<\/p>\n But none of these things should disturb them, for it will result in their being able to testify before men concerning Him. It will be a part of their overall testimony. It will also result in the end in their being testified to by Him before the Father (Luk 12:8<\/span>). Note that Luke here omits Mar 13:10<\/span> (the Good News will be preached to all nations, compare Rom 1:5<\/span>) because he is concerned to keep the emphasis on their suffering for Christ’s sake, but the idea behind the words is necessarily assumed in order for the persecutions to take place. ‘All nations’ in those early days would be seen as signifying all known nations. And later Luke is at pains to point out that even at Pentecost itself there were people from ‘every nation under heaven’ (Act 2:5<\/span>). We can compare also Rom 1:8<\/span>, where Paul is able to say ‘your faith is proclaimed in all the world’. Their ‘world’ was not as large as ours.<\/p>\n Luk 21:13<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>It shall turn, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> See the note on Mat 10:18<\/span>. <\/p>\n 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 13.

They will recall that Jesus foretold it and thus it will prove to them that He was a true prophet. When a prediction becomes history, it amounts to a verifying evidence. (See Exo 3:12.)<\/p>\n Luk 21:13. It shall turn to you, for a testimony, i.e., of your faithfulness, giving you an opportunity to testify for the Lord, and against them (Mar 13:9).<\/p>\n Luk 21:13-19. It shall turn to you for a testimony The persecutions which you suffer shall become a glorious proof both of your innocence and of their guilt in rejecting the gospel. Settle it, therefore, in your hearts, &c. As the Holy Ghost will assist you in your defences, let it be a fixed point with you, not to meditate before what ye shall answer. See on Mat 10:19, and Mar 13:11. I will give you a mouth and wisdom, &c. I will suggest to you such sentiments, and enable you to deliver them with such eloquence, that your defences shall be unanswerable; and your adversaries shall be struck with them, especially when they find by your manner that you have spoken without premeditation. Of the fulfilment of this promise, we have evident examples in the defences made by the proto- martyr, Stephen, and by the Apostle Paul, especially before King Agrippa and the Roman governors. But there is no need to insist upon particulars. The prevalency of the gospel, wherever it was preached, demonstrates, beyond all doubt, that the defences made by the preachers thereof were unanswerable. Ye shall be betrayed by parents and brethren, &c. See on Mat 10:22, and Mar 13:12-13. There shall not a hair of your head perish A proverbial expression denoting absolute safety. The special providence of God shall watch over you for your preservation, and you shall not suffer before the time appointed by God, nor without a full reward. But the promise seems to refer especially to their preservation during the siege of Jerusalem; of which, see on Luk 21:20. Thus Jesus encouraged all to steadfastness in the midst of the fiery trial that was to try them. In patience possess ye your souls Be calm and serene, masters of yourselves, and superior to all irrational and disquieting passions. By keeping the government of your spirits, you will both avoid much misery, and guard the better against all dangers.<\/p>\n Verse 13 <\/p>\n That is, it was to be in that way that the disciples were to give their testimony to the gospel.<\/p>\n 21:13 And it shall turn to you for {c} a testimony.<\/p>\n (c) This will be the result of your troubles and afflictions: they will be witnesses both before God and man of the treacherous and cruel dealing of your enemies, as well as of your steadfastness: A noble saying, that the afflictions of the godly and holy men pertain to the witness of the truth.<\/p>\n And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 13. for a testimony ] See Mar 13:9. “In nothing terrified by your adversaries, which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation,” Php 1:28. “A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God,” 2Th 1:5.
