Mark 13:5
3 While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to be fulfilled?”
Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.
6 Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
