"Why persecute"

1. Job 19: 28
     28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
2. Acts 9: 4
     4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
3. Acts 22: 7
     7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
4. Acts 26: 14
     14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
5. Mosiah 27: 13
     13 Nevertheless he cried again, saying: Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it; and nothing shall overthrow it, save it is the transgression of my people.
6. JS-H 1: 25
     25 So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.
