They will put you out of the synagogues The phrase "put you out of the synagogues" refers to the practice of excommunication from the Jewish community, which was a severe punishment in the first-century Jewish context. The Greek word used here is "ἀποσυνάγωγος" (aposynagogos), meaning expelled from the synagogue. This expulsion was not merely a religious sanction but also a social and economic one, as the synagogue was central to Jewish life. Historically, this reflects the growing tension between early Christians and Jewish authorities, as the followers of Jesus were increasingly seen as a sect diverging from traditional Judaism. This phrase underscores the cost of discipleship and the reality of persecution for early Christians, who were often ostracized for their faith. in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God Will think that he doeth God service.--Better, will think that he offereth to God a sacrificial service. The word rendered "doeth" in the Authorised version, is the technical word for offering sacrifice. (Comp., e.g., Notes on Matthew 5:23; Matthew 8:4.) The word rendered "service" means the service of worship. This will be seen by a comparison of the other instances where it occurs in the New Testament--they are Romans 9:4; Romans 12:1, and Hebrews 9:1; Hebrews 9:6. A Rabbinic comment on Numbers 25:13, is, "Whosoever sheddeth the blood of the wicked is as he who offereth sacrifice." The martyrdom of Stephen, or St. Paul's account of himself as a persecutor (Acts 26:9; Galatians 1:13-14), shows how these words were fulfilled in the first years of the Church's history, and such accounts are not absent from that history's latest page. . . . Verses 2, 3. - They (used impersonally, as the German man, or the French ou) shall make (or, declare) you excommunicate - ἀποσυναγώγους "put you out of the synagogue," expel you from the fellowship of your country's worship (cf. John 9:22 and John 12:42) - nay, further (the ἀλλὰ abruptly introduces a very much stronger assertion) an hour cometh, that - ἵνα is here, by Meyer and many others, said to involve a Divine order, purpose, or destiny, intended by the drawing on of the foreordained crisis; but it seems enough to convey by it the contemplated result (see Canon Evans, Expositor, 1882) - whosoever killeth you will deem that he is offering service - sacrificial homage - to God (προσφέρειν; both these words are persistently used with this meaning. See, for προσφέρειν, Matthew 5:23; Matthew 8:4; Acts 7:42; Hebrews 5:1). The well-known quotation from 'Bammidbar Rabba,' fol. 329. 1, "Every one shedding the blood of the wicked is equal to him who offers sacrifice," may throw light on the expression. The intensity of the fanaticism was well exhibited in the persecution in which Stephen fell, and which St. Paul deemed worthy service, and one which he ought to have rendered (Acts 26:9; Galatians 1:13, 14). The curse was long and deep and tragic, and Christ explains it by the awful reiteration, These things will they do because they have not known the Father, nor me (see John 15:22, etc.). He reiterates the explanation already given of the manner and form as well as the fact of the world's hatred.Parallel Commentaries ...
