This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 5:11. Ὀνειδίσωσιν, shall revile) sc. in your presence: understand ἀνθρώποι, men. They inflict insult by words, persecution in fact.-ὑμᾶς, you) Jesus speaks sometimes in the first person plural of Himself, and mankind, taken collectively, when the matter treated of is one plainly external (see Joh 11:7), or when He speaks as one unknown (see ch. Mat 3:15, Joh 4:22); but mostly uses the second person, to signify that He is not on a par with others. See Mat 5:12-13; Mat 5:20; Joh 6:49; Joh 10:34; Joh 14:9; Joh 20:17.-εἴπωσι, shall say) sc. in your absence.
