Mark 13:6

6 for many shall come in my name, saying, I Am Christ, and shall deceive many.

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 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all things are to be finished?

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say, Take heed that no one deceive you,

6 for many shall come in my name, saying, I Am Christ, and shall deceive many.

7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled, for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

8 For people shall rise against people and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in each place, and there shall be famines and troubles: these shall be the beginnings of sorrows.
