and said to them, "The Scriptures said that the Christ should suffer as He has suffered, should rise from the dead on the third day,

so that I can preach the good news in the regions beyond you, without boasting in another man's sphere of work already done by him.

Do not be so afraid of what you are to suffer. See! The devil is going to throw some of you into prison to be tested there and for ten days to suffer pressing troubles. Each one of you must prove to be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life.
