Luke 6:27,28
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 23:34(Jesus praying for those who persecuted Him)
  34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[a] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
Acts 7:60(Stephen praying for those who stoned him)
60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

1 Cor 4:12
12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

1 Pet 2:23(Christ suffered for us leaving an example)
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
