This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But take heed to yourselves: for - “before all these things” (Luk 21:12); that is, before these public calamities come.
they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten - These refer to ecclesiastical proceedings against them.
and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings - before civil tribunals next.
for my sake, for a testimony against them - rather “unto them” - to give you an opportunity of bearing testimony to Me before them. In the Acts of the Apostles we have the best commentary on this announcement. (Compare Mat 10:17, Mat 10:18).
