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 a question in private.

4 "Tell us," they said. "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to come true?"

5 Jesus said to them, "Keep watch! Be careful that no one fools you.

6 Many will come in my name. They will claim, 'I am he.' They will fool many people.

7 "You will hear about wars. You will also hear people talking about future wars. Don't be alarmed. Those things must happen. But the end still isn't here.
