Yet the whole Baha'u'llah's life was spent in the midst of great trial and cruel tyranny. In Persia He was thrown into prison, put into chains, and lived constantly under the menace of the sword. He was scorned and scourged. (20:6) When He was about thirty years old He was exiled to Baghdad, and from Baghdad to Constantinople, and from there to Adrianople and lastly to the prison of Akka. (20:7) Yet under chains and from His cell He succeeded in spreading His cause, and uplifting the banner of the oneness of humanity.
(20:8)
