Contextual Overview

⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you. ⁵ For many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am the Christ, and they shall mislead many. ⁶ But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end. ⁷ For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. ⁸ But all these [are the] beginning of throes. ⁹ Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake. ¹⁰ And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another; ¹¹ and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many; ¹² and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold; ¹³ but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.

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.
