Matthew 10:19–22
In that very hour he promised to give the grace of debate, so that the Spirit’s gift might be shown. If he had given it before the time of trial, the matter would have been thought a thing of human nature and skill. They were not going to be hated by absolutely everyone, but by many — especially at that time. So from the greater part he said “by all,” (Matthew 10:19–22) since those who received the word loved them.
Greek
Ἐν δὲ αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ κατεπηγγείλατο τὴν διαλεκτικὴν διδόναι χάριν, ἵνα δειχθῇ τὸ τοῦ πνεύματος χάρισμα· εἰ γὰρ πρὸ καιροῦ δεδώκει τῇ πείρᾳ, ἐνομίζετο εἶναι τὸ πρᾶγμα φύσεως ἀνθρωπίνης καὶ δεξιότητος, οὐ παρὰ πάντων δὲ ἔμελλον μισεῖσθαι, ἀλλὰ παρὰ πολλῶν μάλιστα κατ' ἐκεῖνο καιροῦ. διὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ πλείονος εἶπεν τὸ παρὰ πάντων, ἐπεὶ οἱ δεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον ἠγάπων αὐτούς.
