Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Study Note
The warning that false christs and false prophets will arise and perform 'great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect' provides a crucial epistemological caveat: miraculous demonstration is not a sufficient criterion for authenticity. The qualifier 'if possible, even the elect' is debated: does it imply the elect cannot ultimately be deceived (Calvinist reading) or that even the most spiritually mature are at risk (Arminian reading)? Deuteronomy 13:1-5 had already established that a prophet producing signs and wonders who leads toward other gods must be rejected, providing the Old Testament hermeneutical principle Jesus assumes here. Paul's parallel warning in 2 Thessalonians 2:9 about the 'lawless one' performing false signs confirms the eschatological currency of this teaching.
