What does Mark 13:12 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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).
