'Persecute' in the Bible

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falsely on account of me.

But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you,

Whenever they persecute you in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
