John 16:2-4

They shall put you out of the synagogues. Excommunicate you. The first persecutions were Jewish.

Whoever killeth you will think he doeth God a service. Even so Saul of Tarsus thought while persecuting the saints (Ac 22:3,4). Fanaticism has always held the slaughter of those who are deemed heretics to be praiseworthy. These things will they do, etc. Had they known Christ, or the Father, and received the Holy Spirit, they could not do thus. These things I said not unto you at the beginning. He had made his instructions as they were prepared to receive them, lesson by lesson.
