Matthew 24:4-8
New King James Version
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: (A)“Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For (B)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ (C)and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of (D)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For (E)nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be (F)famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

4 Jesus answered, “Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]. 5 For many will come in My name [misusing it, and appropriating the strength of the name which belongs to Me], saying, ‘I am the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed),’ and they will mislead many. 6 You will continually hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end [of the age]. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish and the time of unprecedented trouble].
