Jesus told his disciples the world would hate them. Indeed, they died martyrs.
In the same breath, Jesus told them that if they endured to the end, they would be saved. They endured; they died martyrs.
How petty an atheist must be - how like a fundamentalist Christian - to read the Scriptures literally. Everyone does not mean everyone. If so, that would have included the disciples.
Now the question is . . . were they saved?
Jesus was very prophetic, remember.
"Jesus told his disciples the world would hate them. Indeed, they died martyrs.

You mean, like you just did in literally the first two sentences of your post, as shown above? Are you mentally ill? What kind of person so blatantly contradicts himself in the same breath? Very, very odd behavior on your part.
