Mark 13:5 In-Context

3 Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? What sign will show that all these things are about to come to an end?"

5 Jesus said, “Watch out that no one deceives you.

6 Many people will come in my name, saying, ‘I'm the one!' They will deceive many people.

7 When you hear of wars and reports of wars, don't be alarmed. These things must happen, but this isn't the end yet.
