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.
In context — Luke 21:8
Then He said, “Keep watch so that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name , saying, ‘I am the one,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Do not follow them.”
