Luke 21:13

"But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake."

Key Reflection

This passage foretells the suffering and persecution believers will face for their faith, including trials in religious courts (synagogues), civil authorities (prisons), and even before rulers and kings—ultimately pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus on behalf of his followers.
