And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, etc.] (See Gill on “<401021>Matthew 10:21”) and kinsfolks, and friends. The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions add, “your”, to each of these relations, as your parents, etc. 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, (<440758>Acts 7:58 12:2) and indeed all of them were put to death, except John, before the destruction of Jerusalem.
