John Gill Commentary Luke 21:16

"But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death." — Luke 21:16 (ASV)

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