Mark 13:5-6 - Exposition

Take heed that no man lead you astray . The Greek word is πλανήση . Their first temptation would be of this kind—that many would come in Christ's name, saying, "I am he;" claiming, that is, the title which belonged to him alone. Such were Theudas ( Acts 5:36 ) and Simon Magus ( Acts 8:10 ), who, according to Jerome, said, "Ego sum Sermo Dei, ego speciosus, ego Paracletus, ego omnipotens, ego omnia." Such were Menander and the Gnostics.
