Matthew 24:4

24:4 Jesus answered them, ¹  “Watch out ²  that no one misleads you.

Matthew 24:24-25

24:24 For false messiahs ³  and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 24:25 Remember, ⁴  I have told you ahead of time.

¹ tn Grk “answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

² tn Or “Be on guard.”

³ tn Or “false christs”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

⁴ tn Or “Pay attention!” Grk “Behold.”
