Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That ye be not led astray (mh planhqhte). First aorist passive subjunctive with mh (lest). This verb planaw occurs here only in Luke though often in the rest of the N.T. (as Matthew 24:4-5, Matthew 24:11, Matthew 24:24, which see). Our word planet is from this word.
The time is at hand (o kairov hggiken). Just as John the Baptist did of the kingdom (Matthew 3:2) and Jesus also (Mark 1:15).
Go ye not after them (mh poreuqhte opisw autwn). First aorist passive subjunctive with mh. A needed warning today with all the false cries in the religious world.
