Also, there is a difference between those who have a legal right to say “arrest” you and those who don’t. Look at the example of Jesus and I like Stephen too. The Sanhedrin was part of the Jewish system and he made a case there but didn’t hold back. They stoned him and yet he asked Jehovah to not hold it against them. No account of him retaliating. But we are at times told to flee.
Matthew 10:22-24: “And you will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for truly I say to you, you will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives. “A student is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master”.
