Mark 13:5 In-Context

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately,

4 Tell us, when will these things be? and what [will be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:

6 For many will come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and will deceive many.

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