But before all these, etc.] 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, (<440401>Acts 4:1,3,17,18) and persecute you; as upon the death of Stephen, (<440801>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, (<440406>Acts 4:6,7,15,17) and into prisons; as were all the apostles together, and Peter at another time separately, (<440403>Acts 4:3,18 12:4) 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 “<401018>Matthew 10:18”).
