“ Then people will hand you over to be treated badly and killed. All nations will hate you because of me.

Every day I was with you in the temple courtyard. And you didn’t lay a hand on me. But this is your hour. This is when darkness rules.”

Watch out! You will be handed over to the local courts. You will be whipped in the synagogues.You will be brought to governors and kings because of me. You will be witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

Remember what I told you. I said,‘ A slave is not more important than his master.’( John 13:16) If people hated me and tried to hurt me, they will do the same to you. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

You will be thrown out of the synagogue. In fact, the time is coming when someone may kill you. And they will think they are doing God a favor.

Stretch out your hand to heal. Do signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. The church was strengthened and grew larger. That’s because they worshiped the Lord and the Holy Spirit helped them.
