For many shall come in my name, etc..] Taking upon them the name of the Messiah: saying, I am [Christ]; the word “Christ”, is rightly supplied from (<402405>Matthew 24:5); otherwise in the original it is only, “I am”; which the Persic version doubles, reading it, “I am indeed, I am”: he that was promised and expected, the true Messiah; he that was to come: and shall deceive many; (see Gill on “<402405>Matthew 24:5”).
