Isaiah 33:1

O Lord, Be Gracious to Us

1 ^aAh, you destroyer,
who yourself have not been destroyed,
you traitor,
whom none has betrayed!
When you have ceased to destroy,
you will be destroyed;
and when you have finished betraying,
they will betray you.

Matthew 10:21-25

21 ^bBrother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 ^cand you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. ^dBut the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they ^epersecute you in one town, ^fflee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel ^gbefore the Son of Man comes.

24 ^h“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant ^{▼▼Greek bondservant; also verse 25} above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. ^jIf they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign ^{▼▼Greek lacks will they malign} those of his household.

John 15:20

20 Remember the word that I said to you: ^l‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^mthey will also persecute you. ⁿIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

John 16:1-4

1 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 ^oThey will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, ^pthe hour is coming when ^qwhoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things ^rbecause they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But ^sI have said these things to you, that when ^ttheir hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, ^ubecause I was with you.

Acts 20:22-23

22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained ^vby ^{▼▼Or bound in} the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23 except that ^xthe Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that ^yimprisonment and ^zafflictions await me.

Acts 21:11

11 And coming to us, he ^aatook Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, ^ab“Thus says the Holy Spirit, ^ac‘This is how the Jews ^{▼▼Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time} at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and ^aedeliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
