Turning to the disciples, Christ said, "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Many false messiahs will appear, claiming to work miracles, and declaring that the time of the deliverance of the Jewish nation has come. These will mislead many. Christ's words were fulfilled. Between His death and the siege of Jerusalem many false messiahs appeared. But this warning was given also to those who live in this age of the world. The same deceptions practiced prior to the destruction of Jerusalem have been practiced through the ages, and will be practiced again.

Kristus vendte sig til disciplene og sagde: "Agt vel på, at ikke nogen skal føre jer vild. Thi mange skal komme i mit navn og sige leg er Kristus; og de skal føre mange vild." Der vil vise sig mange falske Messias'er, der hævder at kunne gøre mirakler og erklærer, at tiden for jødefolkets udfrielse nu er kommet. De vil føre mange vild. Kristi ord gik i opfyldelse. I tiden mellem hans død og Jerusalems belejring viste der sig mange falske Messias'er. Men denne advarsel gælder også dem, der nu lever i verden. De samme bedrag, der fandt sted forud for Jerusalems ødelæggelse, er blevet udøvet gennem tiderne og vil atter blive udøvet.
