Context of Matthew 10:22
20For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21“A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 23When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next. I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel. 24“Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22Ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake - Because ye are attached to me, and saved from the corruption that is in the world; therefore the world will hate you.

The one who perseveres to the end means those who stay loyal to Jesus, even to death or until he returns (10:23). will be saved: Some interpret this as being freed from persecution, like release from prison. But here it refers to eternal salvation for those who stay faithful.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2222. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake--The universality of this hatred would make it evident to them, that since it would not be owing to any temporary excitement, local virulence, or personal prejudice, on the part of their enemies, so no amount of discretion on their part, consistent with entire fidelity to the truth, would avail to stifle that enmity--though it might soften its violence, and in some cases avert the outward…Read the comment
