Context of Matthew 24:10
8But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish and the time of unprecedented trouble]. 9“Then they will hand you over to [endure] tribulation, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will be offended and repelled [by their association with Me] and will fall away [from the One whom they should trust] and will betray one another [handing over believers to their persecutors] and will hate one another. 11Many false prophets will appear and mislead many. 12Because lawlessness is increased, the love of most people will grow cold.

Shall betray one another - Those who thus apostatize from professed attachment to me will betray others who really love me. This they…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 4-28Verses 4-28 The disciples had asked concerning the times, When these things should be?
