Matthew 24:5; Matthew 24:23-26

Matthew 24:5

5 For many will come in my name, saying, `I am the Messiah!' and they will lead many astray.

Matthew 24:23-26

23 "At that time, if someone says to you, `Look! Here's the Messiah!' or, `There he is!' don't believe him.

24 For there will appear false Messiahs and false prophets performing great miracles -- amazing things! -- so as to fool even the chosen, if pos sible.

25 There! I have told you in advance!

26 So if people say to you, `Listen! He's out in the desert!' don't go; or, `Look! He's hidden away in a secret room!' don't believe it.
