But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:17 Go To Matthew 10
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Thus again is He preparing them to be vigilant, in every case assigning to them the sufferance of wrong, and permitting the infliction of it to others; to teach you that the victory is in suffering evil, and that His glorious trophies are thereby set up. For He said not at all, Fight ye also, and resist them that would vex you, but only, You shall suffer the utmost ills.
