dragged off men and women and put them in prison. Those
who had been scattered preached the word wherever they

[Prophets] who through faith conquered kingdoms, ad-
ministered justice, and gained what was promised; who
shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the
flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weak-
ness was turned to strength; and who became power-
ful in battle and routed foreign armies... Others were
tortured and refused to be released, so that they
might gain a better resurrection [in the hereafter].
Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others
were chained and put in prison. They were stoned;
they were sawed in two; they were put to death by
the sword. They went about in sheepskins and
goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreat-
ed—the world was not worthy of them. They
wandered in deserts and mountains, and in
caves and holes in the ground. (Hebrews,
11:33-38)
[Jesus:] "All this I have told you so that you
will not go astray... in fact, a time is coming
when anyone who kills you will think he is
offering a service to God. They will do such
things because they have not known God or
me. I have told you this, so that when the
time comes you will remember that I
warned you…" (John, 16:1-4)
