But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shalt ye stand for my sake, as a testimony unto them.This paragraph (here and through Mark 13:13) is particularly addressed to the apostles themselves, as indicated by the prophecy of their being beaten in synagogues (tying it to that generation), and the further promise of direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit promised in Mark 13:11, a promise nowhere... read more
And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.(1) The primary fulfillment of this was in the apostolic age, whereof Paul affirmed that it had indeed been done (Colossians 1:23), and that well ahead of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.(2) the secondary fulfillment will take place before the Second Advent of Christ. As Crain accurately declared:The meaning of this verse is that it is part of God's eschatological purpose that before the End all nations shall have an... read more
And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shalt speak: but whatsoever shalt be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.Barnes understood this as directed to the Twelve, saying, "God gave them power; and they spake with wisdom, fearlessness, pungency, and ability which no other men have ever manifested."[22] The inspiration of the New Testament is also affirmed by this promise. That this promise... read more
And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.No one may doubt the literal fulfillment of such familial treachery against the Lord's disciples; for such would naturally have occurred: (1) because of craven hatred of the truth; (2) hope of saving one's own life; or even (3) from hope of sordid... read more
Mark 13:9. In the synagogues ye shall be beaten:— It is certain that whipping and beating were punishments inflicted in the synagogues. Thus Paul punished the Christians, Acts 22:19; Acts 26:11. And that it was customary to whip both their wise men and their disciples, when guilty of any perverseness, may be fully proved from Vitringa de Synag. vet. lib. 3: cap. 2: All that is mentioned in this verse was exactly accomplished; for Peter and John were called before the Sanhedrim, Acts 4:6-7.... read more
9. But take heed to yourselves: for—"before all these things" ( :-); that is, before these public calamities come. they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten—These refer to ecclesiastical proceedings against them. and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings—before civil tribunals next. for my sake, for a testimony against them—rather "unto them"—to give you an opportunity of bearing testimony to Me before them. In the Acts of the Apostles we have the... read more
10. And the gospel must first be published among all nations—"for a witness, and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14). God never sends judgment without previous warning; and there can be no doubt that the Jews, already dispersed over most known countries, had nearly all heard the Gospel "as a witness," before the end of the Jewish state. The same principle was repeated and will repeat itself to "the end." read more
11. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand—"Be not anxious beforehand." what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate—"Be not filled with apprehension, in the prospect of such public appearances for Me, lest ye should bring discredit upon My name, nor think it necessary to prepare beforehand what ye are to say." but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost—(See on :-.) read more
