Contextual Overview

⁴ Jesus answered: Don't let anyone fool you. ⁵ Many will come and claim to be me. They will say that they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people. ⁶ You will soon hear about wars and threats of wars, but don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end. ⁷ Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. People will starve to death, and in some places there will be earthquakes. ⁸ But this is just the beginning of troubles. ⁹ You will be arrested, punished, and even killed. Because of me, you will be hated by people of all nations. ¹⁰ Many will give up and will betray and hate each other. ¹¹ Many false prophets will come and fool a lot of people. ¹² Evil will spread and cause many people to stop loving others. ¹³ But if you keep on being faithful right to the end, you will be saved.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I have told you before. Meaning not before in this discourse, though he had in Matthew 24:5 signified also, that false Christs, and false prophets should arise, but before these things came to pass; so that they had sufficient notice and warning of them, and would be inexcusable if they were not upon their guard against them; and which, when they came to pass, would furnish out a considerable argument in proof of him, as the true Messiah, against all these false ones, showing him to be omniscient; and so would serve to establish their faith in him, and be a means of securing them from such deceivers.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, I have told you before - Mark adds Mark 13:23, “take ye heed.” The reason why he told them before was that they might be on their guard, and be prepared for those calamities.
