Matthew 10:23

When they persecute you in one city (literally: 'this city'), flee to another. I tell you the truth (truly, amen): You will not get through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
[Verses 17-23 deal with persecution. As is often the case with prophecy, there can be several fulfillments; some in the near future, but also in the more distant future. The Acts of the Apostles describes how the church is persecuted, see Acts 7:58; 8:1; 9:25. The last part, "before the Son of Man comes" (which is only found in the Gospel of Matthew), is not clearly defined. There are various interpretations, some of which are:
• That Jesus "comes in the near future" and catches up with the disciples when he himself goes out (Matt. 11:1), in a similar way to when he sent out the seventy-two to every city he was going to visit (Luke 10:1). • That he "comes in glory" and reveals himself to the disciples (Matt. 17:1–2). • Jesus' resurrection when he "comes to the Father." • The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, see John 1:16–17. • In Matt. 24:9–10 and Luke 21:12–19, similar phrases about persecution are used as here before Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple 40 years later (Luke 21:20–22), when he "comes to judge" Jerusalem.
• Both before and after mentioning persecution in this speech, Jesus also mentions the final judgment (verses 15, 28, 32), in which case it may refer to "his second coming" (Matt. 16:28; 24:14) – that there will still be people in these villages and cities in Israel who have not accepted Jesus as the Messiah and their Savior.
• A reference to the fact that the mission in the cities of Israel (among the Jews) will continue until he returns.
Regardless of the exact meaning, the point is still clear. Persecution would not be able to stop the mission. Rather, it would lead it in new directions and spread the gospel.
