Context of Mark 13:5
3While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” Jesus told them, “Watch out that no one deceives you. 6Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many. 7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things must take place, but it is not yet the end.
