Mark 13:6

For many shall come in my name ,.... Taking upon them the name of the Messiah: saying,

I am Christ ; the word "Christ", is rightly supplied from Matthew 24:5 ; otherwise in the original it is only, "I am"; which the Persic version doubles, reading it, "I am indeed, I am": he that was promised and expected, the true Messiah; he that was to come:

and shall deceive many ; See Gill on Matthew 24:5 .
