Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets and wise ones and scribes. And some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and will persecute from city to city;
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you, and will persecute you, giving you over into the synagogues and prisons, being led away before kings and governors on account of My name.
They will make you to be expelled from the synagogue, but an hour is coming that every one killing you will think to he offers a divine service before God.
Fear nothing of what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some from you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
I know your works, and where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is. And you hold My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful witness; who was killed alongside you, where Satan dwells.
And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes and whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.
