‏ Luke 21:8

 That ye be not led astray ( μη πλανηθητε ). First aorist passive subjunctive with  μη (lest). This verb  πλαναω occurs here only in Luke though often in the rest of the N.T. (as Mt 24:4, 5, 11, 24, which see). Our word planet is from this word.

 The time is at hand ( ο καιρος ηγγικεν ). Just as John the Baptist did of the kingdom (Mt 3:2) and Jesus also (Mr 1:15).

 Go ye not after them ( μη πορευθητε οπισω αυτων ). First aorist passive subjunctive with  μη. A needed warning today with all the false cries in the religious world.
