23: τοτε εαν τις υμιν ειπη ιδου ωδε ο χριστος η ωδε μη πιστευσητε— edit Textus Receptus
23: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.- edit KJV text
23: Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him.— edit Douay text


Lo, here is Christ. The Messiah. The Jews expected the Messiah to deliver them from Roman oppression. In the time of these great-calamities they would anxiously look for him, Many would claim to be the Messiah. Many would follow them. Many would rejoice to believe that he was come, and would call on others, Christians with the rest, to follow them.

Believe it not. You have evidence that the Messiah has come, and you are not to be deceived by the plausible pretensions of others.
