               Then the chief priests and the elders of the
               people assembled in the palace of the high
               priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they
               schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. (Matthew,
               26: 3-4)

               The Gospel also describes the situation of
           the disciples who accepted all kinds of risks for
           the sake of God:

               "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left
               home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or
               fields for me [for the approval of God] and the Gospel [God's
               commandments] will fail to receive a hundred times as much in
               this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and
               fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come,
               eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last
               first." (Mark, 10:29-31)
               [Jesus said:] And everyone who has left houses or brothers
               or sisters or father or mother or wife or
               children or fields for my sake [for
               the approval of God] will receive
               a hundred times as much and
               will inherit eternal life. But
               many who are first will be last,
               and many who are last will be
               first. (Matthew 19:30-31)
