They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
This is not mere separation from one synagogue; it is Cherem, total excommunication from the whole Jewish church, cutting you off from everything. But worse still, assassins will hunt you down, persuaded they serve God by murdering you.
AI summary
Christ warns you plainly so disappointment won't shipwreck you. Two swords hang over you: excommunication from the synagogue, and death itself. Being forewarned, you are forearmed against the terror that fells the unprepared.

They shall put you out of the synagogue-- (Joh 9:22; Joh 12:42). the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service--The words mean religious service--"that he is offering a service to God." (So Saul of Tarsus, Gal 1:13-14; Phi 3:6).
