Exegesis
The explanation begins with gar {γὰρ | gar} ‘for,’ which grounds the warning in what follows: polloi {πολλοὶ | polloi} ‘many’ will arrive through eleusontai {ἐλεύσονται | eleusontai}, and the prepositional phrase epi tō onomati mou {ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου | epi tō onomati mou} shows that they claim Jesus’ authority and identity.
