Marc 13:23

23 Mais prenez-y garde; voici, je vous ai tout prédit.

Marc 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).

Marc 13:23 In-Context

21 Alors, si quelqu'un vous dit: Voici, le Christ est ici; ou, il est là; ne le croyez point.

22 Car de faux Christs et de faux prophètes s'élèveront, et accompliront des signes et des prodiges pour séduire même les élus, si c'était possible.

23 Mais prenez-y garde; voici, je vous ai tout prédit.

24 En ces jours-là, après cette affliction, le soleil sera obscurci, la lune ne donnera point sa lumière;

25 Les étoiles du ciel tomberont, et les puissances qui sont dans les cieux seront ébranlées.
