Contextual Overview

⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Be careful that no man deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in my name, and say, I am the Christ, and they will deceive many. ⁶ You are bound to hear of revolutions and rumors of wars; look out and do not be disturbed; for all of these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes, in different places. ⁸ But all these things are just the beginning of travail. ⁹ Then they will deliver you over to be oppressed, and they will kill you; and you will be hated by all nations for my name''s sake. ¹⁰ Then many will stumble, and they will hate one another, and betray one another. ¹¹ And many false prophets will rise, and will mislead a great many. ¹² And because of the growth of iniquity, the love of many will become cold. ¹³ But he who has patience to the end, he will 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
