Luke 21:16

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.

14 Make up your minds not to worry ahead of time about what you will say.

15 I will give you the wisdom to say things that none of your enemies will be able to stand against or prove wrong.

16 Even your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will turn against you, and they will kill some of you.

17 All people will hate you because you follow me.

18 But none of these things can really harm you.
