Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall say unto you, see here, or see there,.... That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the word Christ is added as in Matthew 24:23 from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and deliver the people of the Jews out of all their distresses and calamities by the Romans,
Go not after them nor follow [them]: the last clause, "nor follow them", is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; the meaning is, give no credit to them; as if Christ was come again in person, and was in such a place, do not go along with them, where they direct, as into the desert, or into the secret chambers; for to follow them will be very dangerous, of bad consequence, as well as vain and fruitless; see Acts 5:36.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And they shall say ... - Many false Christs, according to Josephus, appeared about that time, attempting to lead away the people. See the notes at Matthew 24:23-27.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 17:23. And they shall say — Or, And IF they shall say. Two MSS., the Syriac and Armenian, have εαν, IF.
See here — KM, sixteen others, and the later Syriac, have ο ÏÏιÏÏοÏ, Behold the Christ is here. This is undoubtedly the meaning of the place. Matthew 24:23; Matthew 24:23.
