13 Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
13 There's no telling who will hate you because of me. "Stay with it - that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved.
13 And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
13 And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 13:13
Commentary on Mark 13:5-13
(Read Mark 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.
