Matthew 20: 22-2322 “You don’t know
what you are asking,” Jesus said to them.
“Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.23 Jesus said to them,
“You will indeed drink from my cup…”

“As James was led to the place of martyrdom, his accuser was brought to repent of his conduct by the apostle's extraordinary courage. He fell down at James’ feet to beg his forgiveness and
proclaimed to all that he was a Christian, resolving that James should not receive the crown of martyrdom alone. James forgave his accuser and they were then
both beheaded at the same time.”- “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs”

The 12 being arrested Stephen’s martyrdom Saul’s persecution
God brings good out of a situation that seems incredibly bad.

from his constant habit of earnest prayer.
