11 En vele valse profeten zullen opstaan, en zullen er velen verleiden.

Mattheüs 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.

Mattheüs 24:11 In-Context

9 Alsdan zullen zij u overleveren in verdrukking, en zullen u doden, en gij zult gehaat worden van alle volken, om Mijns Naams wil.

10 En dan zullen er velen geergerd worden, en zullen elkander overleveren, en elkander haten.

11 En vele valse profeten zullen opstaan, en zullen er velen verleiden.

12 En omdat de ongerechtigheid vermenigvuldigd zal worden, zo zal de liefde van velen verkouden.

13 Maar wie volharden zal tot het einde, die zal zalig worden.
