persecuted <MAT5 -10> Blessed [are] they which are {persecuted} for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

persecuted <MAT5 -12> Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so {persecuted} they the prophets which were before you.

persecuted <JOH15 -20> Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have {persecuted} me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
