Mark 13:22 meaning and explanation

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

Mark 13:22, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Jesus is speaking privately to Peter, James, John and Andrew on the Mount of Olives, answering their question about the end (Mark 13:3-4). He warns that deception will be persuasive rather than obvious: false messiahs and false prophets will back their claims with signs and wonders, and the danger is sharp enough that even the elect, God's chosen, could be shaken if that were possible.
