Matthew 24:10 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 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.
