⁹ “Then ^(A)they will deliver you up ^(B)to tribulation and ^(C)put you to death, and ^(D)you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

^2 (A)They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, ^(B)the hour is coming when ^(C)whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

^19 (A)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ^(B)you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ^(C)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^(D)they will also persecute you. ^(E)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

¹⁶ You will be delivered up ^(A)even by parents and brothers^[a] and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. ^17 (B)You will be hated by all for my name's sake.

¹⁰ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, ^(A)that you may be tested, and for ^(B)ten days ^(C)you will have tribulation. ^(D)Be faithful ^(E)unto death, and I will give you ^(F)the crown of life.

¹² But before all this ^(A)they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to ^(B)the synagogues and ^(C)prisons, and you ^(D)will be brought before ^(E)kings and ^(F)governors for my name's sake.

^9 (A)“But ^(B)be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten ^(C)in synagogues, and you will stand before ^(D)governors and ^(E)kings for my sake, ^(F)to bear witness before them. ¹⁰ And the gospel must first be proclaimed ^(G)to all nations. ¹¹ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ^(H)do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say ^(I)whatever is given you in that hour, ^(J)for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ^12 (K)And 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 (L)And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. ^(M)But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

¹⁷ Beware of men, for ^(A)they will deliver you over to courts and flog you ^(B)in their synagogues, ^18 (C)and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, ^(D)to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. ^19 (E)When ^(F)they deliver you over, ^(G)do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for ^(H)what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. ^20 (I)For it is not you who speak, but ^(J)the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ^21 (K)Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, ^22 (L)and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. ^(M)But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

⁹ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under ^(A)the altar ^(B)the souls of those who had been slain ^(C)for the word of God and for ^(D)the witness they had borne. ¹⁰ They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, ^(E)holy and true, ^(F)how long ^(G)before you will judge and ^(H)avenge our blood on ^(I)those who dwell on the earth?” ¹¹ Then they were each given ^(J)a white robe and ^(K)told to rest a little longer, ^(L)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers^{[a] (M)}should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
