Exegesis
The causal phrase dia to onoma mou {διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου | diá tó ónoma mou} gives the reason for the hostility: the disciples are targeted because they bear Jesus’ name, a Semitic-style expression in which onoma {ὄνομα | ónoma} points to the person, reputation, and authority represented by the name. The sentence is tightly compressed, moving from future experience to hostile agents to cause, which gives the warning a blunt, memorable force.
