Exegesis
The closing causal phrase heneken tou onomatos mou {ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου | héneken toû onomatós mou} gives the motive for the persecution and centers the conflict on Jesus’ own name, so the whole verse reads as a prophetic escalation from physical abuse to institutional trial to name-based opposition.

In context — Luke 21:12
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for the sake of My name.
