  • Matt 5:10-12 : 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
  • Matt 10:12-18 : 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that house or town and shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16 Look, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. 17 But be on guard against people, for they will hand you over to councils and will flog you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles.
  • Matt 10:22-25 : 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 24 A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above the master. 25 It is enough for a disciple to become like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they call the members of his household!

'They will respect my son,' he said. 38 But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance!' 39 So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
  • Matt 23:34-37 : 34 Therefore, look, I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly, I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
  • John 15:19-20 : 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. But you do not belong to the world, for I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember the word I spoke to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors did. 52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have betrayed and murdered him— 53 you who received the law through angels but have not obeyed it. 54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 He said, 'Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.' 57 At this they covered their ears and, shouting at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him.
  • Acts 8:1 : 1 Saul was in full agreement with his execution. On that day, a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all the believers, except the apostles, were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.
  • 1 Thess 2:14-15 : 14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, because you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews. 15 They killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and they drove us out.
