From the first century to the present day, many faithful Christians have been martyred, like the one Christ called “Antipas, my witness, the faithful one, who was killed by your side. ”
Alates esimesest sajandist kuni praeguse ajani on märtrisurma surnud paljud ustavad kristlased. Kristus näiteks ütles ühe sellise mehe kohta: „Antipas, mu tunnistaja, mu ustav, tapeti teie juures. ”
