Mark 13:6

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

Mark 13:6 In-Context

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.

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in [divers] places, and there will be famines, and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.
