7 Bible Verses about Persecution Predicted

But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake.

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
