Then if any one says to you, `Lo, here is the Christ!' or `There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Lo, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, `Lo, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; if they say, `Lo, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. And then if any one says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or `Look, there he is!' do not believe it. False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. en Pericope.270 Jesus warns about false Christs and prophets 1.2 2004-11-28 National Council of Churches Revised Standard Version Sean Boisen SemanticBible.org application/rdf+xml Scripture verses taken from the Holy Bible: Revised Standard Version, copyright 1946, 1952, 1973 by the National Council of Churches of Christ.
