Mark 13:5 In-Context

3 And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

4 `Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?'

5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, `Take heed lest any one may lead you astray,

6 for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am [he], and many they shall lead astray;

7 and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet;
