Historically, early Christians faced severe persecution from both Jewish authorities and the Roman Empire. The phrase "deliver you over" suggests betrayal, possibly by those close to the believers, echoing Jesus' own betrayal by Judas. The persecution and martyrdom of early Christians, such as Stephen (Acts 7) and James (<a href="/acts/12-2.htm">Acts 12:2</a>), fulfill this prophecy. This persecution is not only physical but also spiritual, as believers are called to endure suffering for their faith, reflecting Jesus' own path to the cross.and you will be hated by all nations The global scope of this hatred suggests a widespread rejection of Christian values and teachings. Historically, Christianity has faced opposition in various cultures and political systems. This phrase can be seen as a prophecy of the universal challenge the Church will face, as it spreads the Gospel to all nations (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>). The hatred stems from the world's opposition to the truth of Christ, as seen in <a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-19</a>, where Jesus warns that the world will hate His followers because it first hated Him.because of My name The phrase "because of My name" highlights the reason for the persecution: allegiance to Jesus Christ. In biblical times, a name represented one's character and authority. Thus, suffering for Jesus' name means enduring hardship for His sake and the truth of His message. This aligns with <a href="/acts/5-41.htm">Acts 5:41</a>, where the apostles rejoice for being counted worthy to suffer disgrace for the Name. The name of Jesus is powerful and divisive, as it represents the exclusive claim of salvation (<a href="/acts/4-12.htm">Acts 4:12</a>) and the call to live counter-culturally in a world opposed to God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this prophecy, Jesus is addressing His disciples about the end times and the trials they will face for His sake. 2. <a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a> The immediate audience of Jesus' prophecy, representing all believers who follow Christ and face persecution for their faith. 3. <a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a> Refers to the various ethnic groups and political entities that will oppose and persecute Christians because of their allegiance to Jesus. 4. <a href="/topical/p/persecution.htm">Persecution</a> The suffering and hostility that believers will endure, including being delivered over to authorities, facing trials, and even death. 5. <a href="/topical/e/end_times.htm">End Times</a> The period leading up to the return of Christ, characterized by increased tribulation and opposition to the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/e/expect_persecution.htm">Expect Persecution</a> Believers should not be surprised by persecution; it is a promised reality for those who follow Christ.

(See Notes there.) Here we have "hated of all the nations," i.e., heathen nations, instead of the wider "hated of all men." So, when Paul reached Rome, the "sect" of the Christians was "everywhere spoken against" (<a href="/acts/28-22.htm" title="But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.">Acts 28:22</a>) "as evildoers" (<a href="/1_peter/2-12.htm" title="Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.">1Peter 2:12</a>). So, a little later on, Tacitus describes them as "hated for their crimes" (Ann. xv. 44). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 9. - The Lord passes to the fate of his followers, or the corporate Church. Then. St Mark does not note the time; St. Luke writes, "before all these things." Hence we gather that the calamities now announced will precede, accompany, and follow those before mentioned. That which befell the apostles and early believers is an emblem of what Christianity will undergo at the hands of an antagonistic world. St. John, in the Revelation, has shadowed forth these things as doomed to fall upon the Church in the latter days. Shall they deliver you up to be afflicted (comp. <a href="/matthew/10-17.htm">Matthew 10:17, 18</a>). Christ is speaking, not only of the apostles, but of disciples generally. They shall deliver you over to the authorities, civil and religious, to be punished. The Book of the Acts contains numerous examples of such afflictions (see <a href="/acts/4-3.htm">Acts 4:3</a>; <a href="/acts/8-1.htm">Acts 8:1</a>; <a href="/acts/12-4.htm">Acts 12:4</a>; <a href="/acts/13-50.htm">Acts 13:50</a>: 14:19, etc.).

Hated of all [the] nations (<a href="/acts/28-22.htm">Acts 28:22</a>, "As concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against"). Tacitus speaks of those "quos per flagitia invisos vulgus Christianos appellabat" ('Ann.,' 15:44). The Romans seem to have placed Jews and Christians in the same category, and to have bestowed on the latter the hatred felt for the former. But the Lord's words point to some feeling more universal and permanent than this temporary animosity, even to the hatred which occasioned the death of martyrs in all ages, the warfare between good end evil, faith and unbelief, which shall continue and increase in virulence unto the end (<a href="/john/15-20.htm">John 15:20</a>; <a href="/john/16-2.htm">John 16:2</a>). <a href="/commentaries/matthew/24-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then Τότε (Tote) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_5119.htm">Strong's 5119: </a> Then, at that time.
