Exegesis
This is followed by two parallel prepositional phrases with eis {εἰς | eis} plus accusative, synedria {συνέδρια | synédria} ‘councils’ and synagogas {συναγωγὰς | synagōgás} ‘synagogues’, which specify the judicial and religious venues where this betrayal will occur.
Finally, eis martyrion autois {εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς | eis martýrion autoîs} uses eis to mark purpose or result, “for a testimony to them,” indicating that these trials are divinely purposed opportunities for witness. In translation, the sequential series of future verbs is preserved to retain the sense of an unfolding path of opposition that turns into mandated witness before increasingly powerful audiences.

But watch yourselves; they will hand you over to councils, and in synagogues you will be beaten, and before governors and kings you will stand for My sake, as a testimony to them.
