These things are only the beginning of birth pains. 9 "But be on your guard; for they will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 "And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 "And when they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you at that time; for you are not the ones speaking, but it is the Holy Spirit. 12 "And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 "And you will be hated by everyone because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For many shall come in my name,.... Taking upon them the name of the Messiah: saying,

I am [Christ]; the word "Christ", is rightly supplied from

Matthew 24:5; otherwise in the original it is only, "I am"; which the Persic version doubles, reading it, "I am indeed, I am": he that was promised and expected, the true Messiah; he that was to come:

and shall deceive many; Matthew 24:5- :.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 13:6. Saying, I amThe Christ, is added by eight MSS., Coptic, Armenian, Saxon, and four of the Itala.
