But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking into synagogues and keepings, [either prisons], and drawing you to kings and to justices, for my name;
they be the ministers of Christ, and I. As less wise I say, I more; in full many travails, in prisons more plente-ously, in wounds above-manner, [or over-measure], in deaths oft times.
Dread thou nothing of these things, which thou shalt suffer. Lo! the devil shall send some of you into prison, that ye be tempted [or ye be proved]; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to the death, and I shall give to thee a crown of life.
