Matthew 5:11-12

11 ^f“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely ^gon my account. 12 ^hRejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for ⁱso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 21:34-39

34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants ^{▼▼Greek bondservants; also verses 35, 36} to the tenants ^kto get his fruit. 35 ^lAnd the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and ^mstoned another. 36 ⁿAgain he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ^o‘This is the heir. Come, ^plet us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and ^qthrew him out of the vineyard and killed him.

34 ^rTherefore ^sI send you ^tprophets and wise men and ^uscribes, ^vsome of whom you will kill and crucify, and ^wsome you will ^xflog in your synagogues and ^ypersecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all ^zthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous ^aaAbel to the blood of ^abZechariah the son of Barachiah, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit the son of Barachiah} whom you murdered between ^adthe sanctuary and ^aethe altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, ^afall these things will come upon this generation.
