²³ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe `it' not.

⁸ And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am `he'; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

²¹ And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe `it' not:

¹ If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder,

² and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

³ thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

²³ And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after `them':

²⁴ for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.

⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
