Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:23 Go To Matthew 24
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Lo, here is Christ. These words are very aptly applied by Catholics to the conventicles of heretics; and would Christians attend to the injunctions of their divine Master, Go ye not out:
believe it not, we should not see the miserable confusion occasioned in the Catholic Church, by unsteady Christians; who are guilty of schism, in forsaking the one true fold, and one shepherd, to follow their blind and unauthorized leaders. (Estius)
