The Cost of Following Christ

Commentators clarify that when Jesus says believers "will be hated by all men," he doesn't mean every single person without exception. Rather, he means that opposition will be widespread, coming from all types of people. This hatred isn't personal; it's "for my name's sake," meaning it's a direct result of allegiance to Christ and His message. This is presented as a normal, though difficult, part of the Christian experience.
