Matthew 10:16-25

Persecution Will Come

16 aBehold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be bwise as serpents and cinnocent as doves. 17Beware of men, for dthey will deliver you over to courts and flog you ein their synagogues, 18 fand you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, gto bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 hWhen ithey deliver you over, jdo not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for kwhat you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 lFor it is not you who speak, but mthe Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 nBrother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 oand you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. pBut the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23When they qpersecute you in one town, rflee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel sbefore the Son of Man comes.

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


Matthew 22:6

6while the rest seized his servants, xtreated them shamefully, and ykilled them.

34 zTherefore aaI send you abprophets and wise men and acscribes, adsome of whom you will kill and crucify, and aesome you will afflog in your synagogues and agpersecute from town to town, 35so that on you may come all ahthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous aiAbel to the blood of ajZechariah the son of Barachiah,
Some manuscripts omit  the son of Barachiah
whom you murdered between althe sanctuary and amthe altar.
36Truly, I say to you, anall these things will come upon this generation.

Matthew 24:9-10

9Then aothey will deliver you up apto tribulation and aqput you to death, and aryou will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then many will fall away
Or stumble
and atbetray one another and hate one another.

Mark 13:9-13

9 auBut avbe on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten awin synagogues, and you will stand before axgovernors and aykings for my sake, azto bear witness before them. 10And the gospel must first be proclaimed bato all nations. 11And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, bbdo not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say bcwhatever is given you in that hour, bdfor it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 beAnd brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 bfAnd you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. bgBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.
