Contextual Overview

⁴ And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked. ⁵ For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them. ⁶ And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end. ⁷ For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places; ⁸ But all these things are the first of the troubles. ⁹ Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name. ¹⁰ And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another. ¹¹ And a number of false prophets will come, causing error. ¹² And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold. ¹³ But he who goes through to the end will get salvation.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I have told you before. Meaning not before in this discourse, though he had in Matthew 24:5 signified also, that false Christs, and false prophets should arise, but before these things came to pass; so that they had sufficient notice and warning of them, and would be inexcusable if they were not upon their guard against them; and which, when they came to pass, would furnish out a considerable argument in proof of him, as the true Messiah, against all these false ones, showing him to be omniscient; and so would serve to establish their faith in him, and be a means of securing them from such deceivers.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, I have told you before - Mark adds Mark 13:23, “take ye heed.” The reason why he told them before was that they might be on their guard, and be prepared for those calamities.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
