Luke 21:16 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:16

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren,
&c.] (See Gill on Matthew 10:21) and kinsfolks, and friends.
The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add, "your", to each of these relations, as your parents and some of you shall they cause to be put to death;
as Stephen was stoned to death, and James, the brother of John, Herod killed with the sword, ( Acts 7:58 ) ( 12:2 ) and indeed all of them were put to death, except John, before the destruction of Jerusalem.

16 You will be handed over by your parents, your brothers, your relatives, and your friends; and some of you will be put to death.

17 Everyone will hate you because of me.

18 But not a single hair from your heads will be lost.
