Exegesis
The negative particle mē {μὴ | mḕ} governs the aorist subjunctive prohibitions exelthēte {ἐξέλθητε | exélthēte} and pisteusēte {πιστεύσητε | pisteúsēte}, forming “do not venture forth” and “do not believe.” The parallel structure and repetition of idou reinforce the caution against deceptive reports.
In context — Matthew 24:26
Therefore, if they declare to you, “Behold, He dwells in the wilderness ,” do not venture forth; or if they declare, “Behold, He dwells in the inner rooms,” do not accept their claim.
