Verse 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, Acts 4:1
and persecute you ; as upon the death of Stephen, Acts 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, Acts 4:6
and into prisons ; as were all the apostles together, and Peter at another time separately, Acts 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 Matthew 10:18 .
