But beware of men, for they will hand you over to councils and they will flog you in their synagogues.

Then Jesus said to them, "Look out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."

How is it you do not perceive that I did not speak to you about bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?"

Then He said to them in His teaching, "Take heed of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and [like] greetings in the marketplaces,

And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

Watch therefore, lest there come upon you that which was spoken of in the prophets:

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the [false] circumcision!

Beware lest anyone captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on guard, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being carried away by the error of the wicked;

And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

Then many false prophets will be raised up, and they will deceive many.

For false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

See, I have told you in advance.

And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

you shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God is testing you, to see whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.

And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.

Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, divinations, and worthless things, and devices of their own heart.

And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them. Their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.

And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led My people Israel astray.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink; for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth [into] all the land.

And Jeremiah said to Hananiah, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.

So he died in the seventh month.

Thus says the Lord concerning Ahab [the son of Kolaiah], and concerning Zedekiah: Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall slay them in your sight.

therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will visit Shemaiah and his family; and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do for [My] people; they shall not see [it].

even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see [visions of] peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord.

Because you have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and [that] in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn from his evil way and live:

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that lead My people astray, that bite with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:

And the seers of night visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to listen to them.

For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will give signs and wonders in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

But you take heed! See, I have foretold to you all things.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master, the [One] having bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And by covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction will not sleep.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Then the Beast was apprehended, and with him the False Prophet who had performed the signs before him, by which he had deceived those who received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed, everyone of his vision, when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

Then He said to them in His teaching, "Take heed of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and [like] greetings in the marketplaces,

who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense pray at length. These will receive more abundant judgment."

Now I urge you, brothers, to look out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

For such [people] do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and through smooth speech and flattering, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

and that was because of false brothers secretly brought in (who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to slavery),

that we may no longer be infants, being tossed as by waves, and being carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in regard to deceitful scheming,

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Beware lest anyone captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

But the Spirit explicitly says, that in latter times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who are believers and have come to know the truth.

having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from these people turn away!

always learning and never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth.

But they shall not advance further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as also theirs became.

For there will be a time when they will not put up with sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up for themselves teachers, tickling their ears,

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master, the [One] having bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And by covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction will not sleep.

For certain men have crept in unawares, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into licentiousness and denying the only Master God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon.

And he works great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth before men.

And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

and that no one may buy or sell except he that has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

See how they are all blinded; they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.

Yea, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding; all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].

whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and your widows are multiplied in the midst of you.

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that lead My people astray, that bite with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:

Her princes within her were as roaring lions, her judges as the wolves of Arabia; they remained not till the morning.

Her prophets are insolent and scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law.

For I know this, that savage wolves will come in after my departure, not sparing the flock.

Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years, night and day I did not cease, with tears, exhorting each one.

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
