A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 24:4

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray." — Matthew 24:4 (ASV)

Lead you astray (υμας πλανηση). This warning runs all through the discourse. It is amazing how successful deceivers have been through the ages with their eschatological programs. The word in the passive appears in 18:12 when the one sheep wanders astray. Here it is the active voice with the causative sense to lead astray. Our word planet comes from this root.
