Contextual Overview

4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them - Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you; 5 For, many, will come upon my name, saying - I, am the Christ, - and will, deceive many. 6 Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen, - but, not yet, is, the end; 7 For there will arise - nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, - and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places. 8 But, all these things, are a beginning of birth-pangs. 9 Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you, - and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name 10 And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another; 11 And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many; 12 And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold. 13 But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 24:25. Behold, I have told you before. — That is, I have forewarned you.
