Luke 21:12
Ver. 12. But before all these,.... Before all these things come to pass:
they shall lay their hands on you; as the high priest, the priests, and the captain of the temple did upon the apostles, Ac 4:1
and persecute you; as upon the death of Stephen, Ac 8:1
delivering you up to the synagogues; to be scourged there; or to the courts of judicature, the consistories of the Jews, their great sanhedrim; before these the apostles were brought, Ac 4:6
and into prisons; as were all the apostles together, and Peter at another time separately, Ac 4:3
being brought before kings and rulers, for my name's sake; for being called by his name, and calling upon it; for professing, and preaching his Gospel; See Gill on "Mt 10:18".
