Behold, I have told you before.

Christ warns us plainly so that we have no excuse for being shaken by the trials He foretold; God's will is our rule, and He promises strength sufficient to every trial, provided we do not make ourselves weak through carelessness.

He forewarns them before these things arrive, so they stand without excuse if they fail to guard themselves; and when His predictions come true, they prove His omniscience and settle their faith against all imposters.

Verse 25. Behold, etc. Mark adds, "Take ye heed." The reason why he told them before, was that they might be on their guard, and be prepared for those calamities.
