Mark 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:12

Now the brother shall betray the brother to death
Signifying, that such should be the rage of men, particularly the Jews, against Christ and his Gospel, that those that were in the nearest relation, were of the same flesh and blood, children of the same parents, should betray and deliver up each other into the hands of the civil magistrate, in order to be put to death:

and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death;
things unnatural and shocking; (See Gill on Matthew 10:21).

Mark 13:12 In-Context

10 But first, the Good News must be spread to all nations.

11 When they take you away to hand you over to the authorities, don't worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you to say when the time comes. Indeed, you are not the one who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit will.

12 "Brother will hand over brother to death; a father will hand over his child. Children will rebel against their parents and kill them.

13 Everyone will hate you because you are committed to me. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.

14 "When you see the disgusting thing that will cause destruction standing where it should not (let the reader take note), those of you in Judea should flee to the mountains.
