This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ye shall be hated (esesthe misoumenoi). Periphrastic future passive to emphasize the continuous process of the linear action. For tribulation, (thlipsin see note on Mat 13:21), a word common in the Acts, Epistles, and Apocalypse for the oppression (pressure) that the Christians received.
For my name’s sake (dia to onoma mou). The most glorious name in the world today, but soon to be a byword of shame (Act 5:41). The disciples would count it an honour to be dishonoured for the Name’s sake.
