Matthew 24:23-28

23 1Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the 2Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24For false christs and 3false prophets will arise and will provide great 4 5signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even 6the 7elect. 25Behold, I have told you in advance. 26So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27 8For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the 9coming of the 10Son of Man 11be. 28 12Wherever the corpse is, there the 13vultures will gather.
