Mark 13:22

“For they all introduce it in their narratives, and that, too, in the same order.” — editor's note: Matt. xxiv. 3-xxv. 46; Mark xiii. 4–37; Luke xxi. 7–36.

“For against those whom I may call marvel-workers, my God has put me on my guard, saying, “In the last times there shall arise false prophets, doing signs and wonders, to lead into error, if it were possible, even the elect: Lo, I have foretold it to you.”” — editor's note: Mark xiii. 22, 23.

After that the Lord had finished all that concerned Jerusalem, He now speaks of the coming of Antichrist, saying, “Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, to, he is there; believe him not.” But when…

For then shall Satan be unchained, and work through Antichrist in all his power, wonderfully indeed, but falsely. But a doubt is often raised whether the Apostle said “signs and lying wonders,” because he is to…

Why however is it said with a doubt “if it were possible,” when the Lord knows beforehand what is to be? One of two things is implied; that if they are elect, it is not possible; and if it is possible, they are not…
