Luke 17:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 ¶ [a]And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them, and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with [b]observation.
21 Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is [c]within you.
22 [d]And he said unto the disciples, the days will come, when ye shall desire to see [e]one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

- Luke 17:20 The kingdom of God is not marked of many, although it be most present before their eyes: because they fondly persuade themselves, that it is joined with outward pomp.
- Luke 17:20 With any outward pomp and show of majesty, to be known by: for there were otherwise many plain and evident tokens, whereby men might have understood, that Christ was the Messiah, whose kingdom was so long looked for: but he speaketh in this place of those signs which the Pharisees dreamed of, which looked for an earthly kingdom of Messiah.
- Luke 17:21 You look about for Messiah as though he were absent, but he is amongst you in the midst of you.
- Luke 17:22 We oftentimes neglect those things when they be present, which we afterward desire when they are gone, but in vain.
- Luke 17:22 The time will come that you shall seek for the Son of man, with great sorrow of heart, and shall not find him.
