Matthew 10:18

10:18 And you will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a witness to them and the Gentiles.

Matthew 26:46

26:46 Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer is approaching!”


sn These statements look at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of courts and synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to governors and kings suggests. Some fulfillment of Jewish persecution can be seen in Acts.

tn Grk “the one who betrays me.”
