And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:18 Go To Matthew 10
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
For a testimony to them That is, that by suffering with fortitude and constancy, you may bear testimony of me, as men must know, that it is not any vain thing for which they see you are prepared to die. Or the sense may be, that this may be for you a testimony against them in the day of judgment, and may render them inexcusable, since they will be unable to say that they have not heard the gospel. (Menochius)
