John 16:2-3
2 aThey will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, bthe hour is coming when cwhoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things dbecause they have not known the Father, nor me.1 Corinthians 4:9
9For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, elike men sentenced to death, because we fhave become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.1 Corinthians 15:30-31
30Why are we gin danger every hour? 31I protest, brothers, by hmy pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, iI die every day!Revelation of John 11:3-9
3And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for j1,260 days, kclothed in sackcloth.”4These are lthe two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5And if anyone would harm them, mfire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, nthis is how he is doomed to be killed. 6They have the power oto shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and pto strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7And when they have finished their testimony, qthe beast that rises from rthe bottomless pit ▼
▼Or the abyss
twill make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically ▼▼Greek spiritually
is called vSodom and wEgypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and xrefuse to let them be placed in a tomb, Revelation of John 17:6
6And I saw the woman, drunk ywith the blood of the saints, the blood of zthe martyrs of Jesus. ▼▼Greek the witnesses to Jesus
When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
