Hebrews 12:3

For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary in your souls [and] give up.

And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, [if we] do not give up.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before [it hated] you.

Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outer person is being destroyed, yet our inner [person] is being renewed day after day.

And have you completely forgotten the exhortation which instructs you as sons? "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, or give up [when you] are corrected by him.

And he shall say to them, 'Hear, Israel, you are near {today} to the battle against your enemies; {do not lose heart}; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not panic, and you shall not be terrified {because of them},

Only fear Yahweh and serve him faithfully with all of your heart. For consider {what great things he has done for you}.

[If] you faint on the day of adversity, little [is] your strength.

Even young people will be faint and grow weary, and [the] young will stumble, exhausted.

The Lord Yahweh has given me [the] tongue of pupil, to know how to help [the] weary [with] a word. He awakens {morning by morning}, awakens an ear for me to listen as [do] the pupils.

"A disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor a slave superior to his master.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a man [who is] a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat {a meal}."

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

and [although they] wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they looked upon him as a prophet.

Then the Pharisees went {and consulted} so that they could entrap him with a statement.

And Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, "Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed--

And all [those] in the synagogue were filled with anger [when they] heard these [things].

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?"

But some of them said, "By Beelzebul the ruler of demons he expels demons!"

And [when] he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many [things],

And he placed [his] hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God.

And it happened that when he came to the house of a certain one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat {a meal}, they were watching him closely.

And both the Pharisees and the scribes were complaining, saying, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!"

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these [things], and they ridiculed him.

And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these [things] on the Sabbath.

And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, "He is a good [man]," but others were saying, "No, but he deceives the crowd."

So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true."

The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

Then they picked up stones in order to throw [them] at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple [courts].

[Some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these [things] and said to him, "We are not also blind, [are we]?"

And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.

Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.

Now [when] he had said these [things], one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, "Do you reply to the high priest in this way?"

So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, [because you] know that your labor is not [in] vain in the Lord.

Because of this, [since we] have this ministry, just as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart,

But [as for] you, brothers, do not be discouraged [while] doing what is right.

Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in all [these things].

Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

And you have patient endurance, and have endured [many things] because of my name, and have not become weary.
