25. Behold, I have told you before.
26. Wherefore, if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
