📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is speaking to his disciples on the Mount of Olives about the hardships they will encounter as his followers, including widespread hatred due to their association with him. This warning was given in the first-century Jewish context, amid rising tensions with religious leaders and the Roman authorities who viewed early Christians as threats. It forms part of Jesus' broader prophecy about end-times events and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.
