In the context of <a href="/matthew/24.htm">Matthew 24</a>, Jesus is speaking about the signs of the end times. The Greek word used here is "τότε" (tote), which connects the preceding events with what is about to be described. It suggests a progression in the narrative of tribulation and persecution that Jesus is outlining for His disciples.they will deliver you over The phrase "they will deliver you over" comes from the Greek "παραδώσουσιν" (paradōsousin), which means to hand over or betray. This implies a sense of betrayal and abandonment, often by those who are close or familiar. Historically, this reflects the experiences of early Christians who were handed over to authorities by their own communities or even family members, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles.to be persecuted The term "persecuted" is translated from the Greek "θλίψιν" (thlipsin), which means to press, squeeze, or crush. This word conveys the intense pressure and suffering that believers would endure. Persecution has been a consistent theme throughout Christian history, from the early church under Roman rule to various forms of oppression faced by Christians worldwide today.and killed The word "killed" is derived from the Greek "ἀποκτενοῦσιν" (apoktenousin), meaning to put to death. This stark reality highlights the ultimate sacrifice that many followers of Christ have made for their faith. It serves as a sobering reminder of the cost of discipleship and the call to remain faithful even unto death, as seen in the martyrdom of apostles and countless others throughout history.and you will be hated The phrase "you will be hated" comes from the Greek "μισούμενοι" (misoumenoi), indicating a deep-seated animosity. This hatred is not just personal but widespread, as it is directed towards believers by "all nations." This reflects the spiritual battle between the kingdom of God and the world, where followers of Christ often find themselves at odds with prevailing cultural and societal norms.by all nations The term "all nations" is translated from the Greek "πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν" (pantōn tōn ethnōn), referring to all ethnic groups or peoples. This global scope of animosity underscores the universal nature of the gospel's challenge to worldly systems and values. It also points to the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy that His message would reach all corners of the earth, provoking both acceptance and opposition.because of My name The phrase "because of My name" highlights the reason for the persecution and hatred. The "name" of Jesus represents His authority, character, and mission. In the biblical context, a name is more than a label; it embodies the essence of a person. Thus, the opposition faced by believers is ultimately a rejection of Christ Himself and His claim as Lord and Savior. This phrase calls Christians to bear the name of Jesus with courage and conviction, knowing that their suffering is not in vain but for the sake of the One who has overcome the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/24.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) Then shall they deliver . . .--The adverb, here and in <a href="/matthew/24-10.htm" title="And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.">Matthew 24:10</a>, points to synchronism rather than sequence in its connection with <a href="/matthew/24-8.htm" title="All these are the beginning of sorrows.">Matthew 24:8</a>.To be afflicted.--Literally, unto affliction.

(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.
