And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
And he said, Be careful that you are not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draws near: therefore do not go after them.
I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
