«Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? / Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: / That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.»
«Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.»
«Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: / That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; / From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.»
«Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.»
«Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? / Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! / That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! / For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: / And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: / Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.»
«Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? / The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.»
«O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: / Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.»
