Mark 13:6

6 For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they 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).

6 For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many.

7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet.

8 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.
