And they shall say unto you, see here, or see
there
That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the
word Christ is added as in ( Matthew
24:23 ) from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense
is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a
place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and
deliver the people of the Jews out of all their distresses and
calamities by the Romans,
Go not after them nor follow [them]:
the last clause, "nor follow them", is left out in the Syriac and
Persic versions; the meaning is, give no credit to them; as if
Christ was come again in person, and was in such a place, do not
go along with them, where they direct, as into the desert, or
into the secret chambers; for to follow them will be very
dangerous, of bad consequence, as well as vain and fruitless; see
( Acts 5:36
Acts 5:37 ) .
