Matthew 24:9

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
