ULT Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Here!’ you should not believe it.
UST 23-24 23-24While those things are happening, there will be people who lie when they claim to be the Messiah or to speak for God. They will do amazing miracles. They will try to deceive the people whom God has chosen to belong to him, and they will almost succeed in doing so. Therefore, when people tell you that the Messiah is here or there, do not trust what they say.
BSB § At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
BLB Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'Here,' do not believe it.
AICNT “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There,’ do not believe it;

NET Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him.
LSV Then if anyone may say to you, Behold, here [is] the Christ! Or, Here! You may not believe;
FBV So if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here's the Messiah,’ or, ‘There he is,’ don't believe it.
TCNT If anyone says to you at that time, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Here he is!’ do not believe him.
T4T 23-24 23-24“At that time people will appear who will falsely say that they are the Messiah or that they are prophets. They will perform many kinds ◄of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do►, in order to deceive people. They will even try to see if it is possible to deceive you people whom God has chosen. So, at that time, if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or if someone says, ‘Over there is the Messiah!’ do not believe it!

24:1-31 Some believe chapter 24 pertains to the return of Christ at the end of history. Others view the chapter as a prediction of the events of AD 70, when Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by the Romans. Others believe it refers to both. See also study notes on Mark 13.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
τότε ἐάν τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ
then if anyone ˱to˲_you_all /may/_say
Jesus speaks as if this were a hypothetical situation, but he means that it will happen. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is uncertain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “Then, although some people will say to you”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
τότε
then
Here, the word Then could introduce something that will happen: (1) during the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “During that time,” (2) after the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “After that time,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, ἰδοὺ, ὧδε ὁ Χριστός, ἤ ὧδε, μὴ πιστεύσητε
˱to˲_you_all /may/_say behold here_‹is› the Messiah or here_‹he_is› not ˱you_all˲_/may/_believe_‹it›
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “says to you that you should look because the Christ is there or there, you should not believe it”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδοὺ
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to look at something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to look, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “Look” or “Pay attention”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
(Occurrence 2) ὧδε
here_‹he_is›
The person speaking is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Here is the Christ”
