| Geneva Study Bible And ye shall be hated of all men {d} for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (d) For me. Scofield Reference Notes Margin end Not the end of the believer's life, but the end of the great tribulation. Margin saved In the sense of Re13:8 20:4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 13. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake-Matthew (Mt 24:12) adds this important intimation: "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many"-"of the many," or "of the most," that is, of the generality of professed disciples-"shall wax cold." Sad illustrations of the effect of abounding iniquity in cooling the love even of faithful disciples we have in the Epistle of James, written about the period here referred to, and too frequently ever since. but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved-See on [1492]Mt 10:21, 22; and compare Heb 10:38, 39, which is a manifest allusion to these words of Christ; also Re 2:10. Luke (Lu 21:18) adds these reassuring words: "But there shall not an hair of your heads perish." Our Lord had just said (Lu 21:16) that they should be put to death; showing that this precious promise is far above immunity from mere bodily harm, and furnishing a key to the right interpretation of Ps 91:1-18 and such like. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 13:5-13 Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so much satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many are deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security and peace of mind, when all around is in disorder. But they must take heed that they are not drawn away from Christ and their duty to him, by the sufferings they will meet with for his sake. They shall be hated of all men: trouble enough! Yet the work they were called to should be carried on and prosper. Though they may be crushed and borne down, the gospel cannot be. The salvation promised is more than deliverance from evil, it is everlasting blessedness. |
