Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi hēgemonōn kai basileōn {ἐπὶ ἡγεμόνων καὶ βασιλέων | epí hēgemónōn kai basiléōn} with the future passive stathēsesthe {σταθήσεσθε | stathḗsesthe} ‘you will be made to stand’ depicts formal appearance before civil authorities, with epi plus the genitive carrying the nuance of being brought before their tribunal.
In context — Mark 13:9
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.
