Matthew 24:11

11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Matthew 24:11 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:11

And many false prophets shall rise
Out of, from among the churches of Christ; at least under the name of Christians; for false teachers are here meant, men of heretical principles, pretending to a spirit of prophecy, and to new revelations, and a better understanding of the Scriptures; such as Simon Magus, Ebion, and Cerinthus, who denied the proper deity, and real humanity of Christ; Carpocrates, and the Gnostics his followers, the Nicolaitans, Hymcneus, Philetus, and others:

and shall deceive many:
as they all of them had their followers, and large numbers of them, whose faith was subverted by them; and who followed their pernicious ways, being imposed upon and seduced by their fair words, specious pretences, and licentious practices.

Matthew 24:11 In-Context

9 They will arrest you, abuse you, and they will kill you. All nations will hate you on account of my name.
10 At that time many will fall away. They will betray each other and hate each other.
11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 Because disobedience will expand, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
