This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That ye be not led astray (mē planēthēte). First aorist passive subjunctive with mē (lest). This verb planaō occurs here only in Luke though often in the rest of the N.T. (as Mat 24:4, Mat 24:5,Mat 24:11, Mat 24:24, which see). Our word planet is from this word.
The time is at hand (ho kairos ēggiken). Just as John the Baptist did of the kingdom (Mat 3:2) and Jesus also (Mar 1:15).
Go ye not after them (mē poreuthēte opisō autōn). First aorist passive subjunctive with mē. A needed warning today with all the false cries in the religious world.
