Exegesis
The verb planēsousin {πλανήσουσιν | planḗsousin} governs the object pollous {πολλοὺς | polloús} ‘many,’ creating a parallel between the many deceivers and the many deceived. In translation, this structure is preserved by maintaining a single main clause with coordinated verbs (“will come … and they will deceive / mislead”) and by keeping the indirect discourse in quoted form to highlight the audacity of the claim.
In context — Mark 13:6
Many will come in My name, saying, “I am He,” and they will deceive many.
