Psalm 66:12-14
You have caused men to ride over our heads;We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows,
Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
Lk 21:12-19
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, ...Synaxarium

مزامير ٦٦ : ١٢-١٤
رَكَّبْتَ أُنَاساً عَلَى رُؤُوسِنَا. دَخَلْنَا فِي النَّارِ وَالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتَنَا إِلَى الْخِصْبِ. أَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ أُوفِيكَ نُذُورِي الَّتِي نَطَقَتْ بِهَا شَفَتَايَ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَا فَمِي فِي ضِيقِي.لوقا ٢١ : ١٢-١٩
وَقَبْلَ هَذَا كُلِّهِ يُلْقُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيَطْرُدُونَكُمْ وَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى مَجَامِعٍ وَسُجُونٍ وَتُسَاقُونَ أَمَامَ مُلُوكٍ وَوُلاَةٍ لأَجْلِ اسْمِي. فَيَؤُولُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ شَهَادَةً. فَضَعُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَنْ لاَ تَهْتَمُّوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لِكَيْ تَحْتَجُّوا لأَنِّي أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ فَماً وَحِكْمَةً لاَ يَقْدِرُ جَمِيعُ مُعَانِدِيكُمْ أَنْ يُقَاوِمُوهَا أَوْ يُنَاقِضُوهَا. وَسَوْفَ تُسَلَّمُونَ مِنَ الْوَالِدِينَ وَالإِخْوَةِ وَالأَقْرِبَاءِ وَالأَصْدِقَاءِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْكُمْ. وَتَكُونُونَ مُبْغَضِينَ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. وَلَكِنَّ شَعْرَةً مِنْ رُؤُوسِكُمْ لاَ تَهْلِكُ. بِصَبْرِكُمُ اقْتَنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ. ...السنكسار
