Mark 13:6

6 People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.

Mark 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:6

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; (See Gill on Matthew 24:5).

Mark 13:6 In-Context

4 Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.

5 And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

6 People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.

7 And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.

8 Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.
