Marco 13:23

23 Ma voi, guardatevi; ecco, io vi ho predetta ogni cosa.

Marco 13:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:23

But take ye heed
The Persic version adds, "of them"; of the false Christs, and false prophets: for though the purposes of God, concerning the salvation of his elect, are infrustrable; his promises are yea and amen; his grace is efficacious and irresistible, and his power uncontrollable; and the salvation of his chosen ones certain; yet it becomes them to be on their guard against every deception, and temptation, and to make use of all means for their perseverance:

behold, I have foretold you all things;
relating to the destruction of the temple, city, and nation of the Jews; the signs that would go before it, as the disciples had desired; the miseries and calamities that would attend it, and the danger they would be exposed to through false Christs, and false prophets; and therefore would be inexcusable, if they did not observe the caution he now gave them: and moreover, when all these should be accomplished, they would remember that he had told them of them beforehand; which would be a proof of his omniscience, and so an establishment of them in the truth of him, as the Messiah; (See Gill on Matthew 24:25).

Marco 13:23 In-Context

21 Ed allora, se alcuno vi dice: Ecco qui il Cristo; ovvero: Eccolo là; nol crediate.

22 Perciocchè falsi cristi, e falsi profeti sorgeranno, e faranno segni e miracoli, per sedurre, se fosse possibile, eziandio gli eletti.

23 Ma voi, guardatevi; ecco, io vi ho predetta ogni cosa.

24 MA in que’ giorni, dopo quell’afflizione, il sole scurerà, e la luna non darà il suo splendore.

25 E le stelle del cielo caderanno, e le potenze che son ne’ cieli saranno scrollate.
