Context — Witnessing to All Nations

8All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,

11and many false prophets will arise and deceive many. 12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

Matthew 24:10 Summary

[Matthew 24:10 tells us that during difficult times, many people will turn away from their faith in Jesus Christ. This is a very sad thing, but it's also a reminder to stay strong in our faith, like it says in 1 Corinthians 15:58. We can do this by reading God's Word, like in Psalm 119:11, and by supporting one another, as seen in Hebrews 10:24-25. By staying close to God and to each other, we can avoid falling away and stay strong in our love for Jesus, even when things get tough.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to 'fall away' in Matthew 24:10?

To fall away means to turn away from faith in Jesus Christ, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:1, where it says some will depart from the faith. This is a tragic consequence of persecution and tribulation.

How can believers avoid falling away in times of trouble?

Believers can avoid falling away by staying rooted in God's Word, as encouraged in Psalm 119:11, and by maintaining a strong community of faith, as seen in Hebrews 10:24-25.

Is the hatred described in Matthew 24:10 only between believers and non-believers?

No, according to Matthew 24:10, the hatred will also be between believers, as they will 'betray and hate one another'. This is a sign of the end times and a result of the multiplication of wickedness, as mentioned in Matthew 24:12.

Can we prevent others from falling away?

While we cannot force someone to stay in the faith, we can support and encourage one another, as seen in Galatians 6:2, and pray for those who are struggling, as encouraged in Ephesians 6:18.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can stay strong in my faith during difficult times?
How can I be a source of encouragement and support for fellow believers who may be struggling?
In what ways can I be prepared for the persecution and hatred that may come because of my faith in Jesus Christ?
What are some warning signs that I or someone I know may be falling away from the faith?

Gill's Exposition on Matthew 24:10

And then shall many be offended,.... That is, many who had been hearers of the apostles, and professors of the Christian religion; who were highly pleased with it, and were strenuous advocates for

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 24:10

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Matthew 24:10

Mark saith, ,13, The brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’ s sake. Luke saith, ,17, And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’ s sake. Many shall be offended; the meaning is, shall turn apostates, stumbling at these great afflictions and persecutions for the gospel. And shall betray one another. We read of several apostates in holy writ, such as Phigellus, Hermogenes, Demas, Hymeneus, Philetus, and others; but all things not being written that were done, we have no particular record of such treachery as is here mentioned. But it is no other than we may reasonably presume was done, though we had not been assured of it, to justify our Saviour’ s prediction. There is no time of great persecution but proves a time of great apostasy and some treachery. It hath been a constant observation, that no hatred flames to that degree with hatred upon the account of religion. Nor is what our Saviour here predicted more than the history of all ages of the church have justified.

Trapp's Commentary on Matthew 24:10

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Ver. 10. And then shall many be offended] As not willing to suffer. How many revolted for fear in the primitive times, were abjured here in Queen Mary’ s reign, fell to Popery in the Palatinate, and other places in Germany, since the troubles there, as fast as leaves fall in autumn! Somewhat men will do for Christ, but suffer nothing.

Ellicott's Commentary on Matthew 24:10

(10) Shall many be offended.—The words point primarily to those who were believers in Christ, and found, a stumbling-block either in the new aspects of truth from time to time presented, or in the slowness of its victory, or in the delayed coming of the Lord. (Comp. 2 Peter 3:4.) Shall hate one another.—The words received a terrible fulfilment in the faction-fights of the Zealots and Sicarii at Jerusalem (Jos. Wars, iv. 3), in the disputes in every city between believing and unbelieving Jews (Acts 13:50; Acts 14:19; Acts 17:5; Acts 18:6; Acts 19:9), in the bitter hatred of the Judaisers against St. Paul (Acts 23:12).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Matthew 24:10

Verse 10. Then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another] To illustrate this point, one sentence out of Tacitus (Annal. l. xv.) will be sufficient, who, speaking of the persecution under Nero, says, At first several were seized, who confessed, and then by THEIR DISCOVERY a great multitude of others were convicted and executed.

Cambridge Bible on Matthew 24:10

10. offended] Disappointed hopes will bring about a disruption of Christian unity and love.

Barnes' Notes on Matthew 24:10

Many shall be offended - See the notes at Matthew 5:29. Many shall stumble, fall, apostatize from a profession of religion.

Whedon's Commentary on Matthew 24:10

10. Many — Many professing Christians. There shall be apostacies and scandals in the Church.
