After all, Jesus had warned his disciples that they would be brought before the courts and that they should be ready to suffer and even die for their faith. ​ — Matthew 10: 17 - 22.
Jēzus taču bija brīdinājis savus mācekļus, ka viņus vedīs tiesas priekšā un ka viņiem ir jābūt gataviem ciest un pat mirt par savu ticību.
