Exegesis
The connective de {δὲ | dè} ‘but’ marks a turn in the warning, while the repeated kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ creates a polysyndetic chain that slows the sentence and piles up the sources of hostility.
In context — Luke 21:16
But you will be handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
