Was demanded - Was asked.Of the Pharisees - This was a matter of much importance to them, and they had taught that it would come with parade and pomp.

See the notes at Matthew 3:2.With observation - With scrupulous and attentive looking for it, or with such an appearance as to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 17:21

“Lo here! or, Lo there!” When an earthly prince visits different parts of his territories, he does it with pomp. His movements attract observation, and become the common topic of conversation. The inquiry is, Where is he? which way will he go? and it is a matter of important “news” to be able to say where he is. Jesus says that the Messiah would not come in that manner. It would not be with such pomp and public attention. It would be silent, obscure, and attracting comparatively little notice.... read more

Luke 17:20-21 . When he was demanded of the Pharisees It is uncertain whether what is here mentioned took place while our Lord was on his journey, or after he came to Jerusalem; when the kingdom of God should come That is, when the kingdom of the Messiah, which they had learned to term the kingdom of God, was to commence? They had very grand notions of the extent of the Messiah’s kingdom, of the number of his subjects, the strength of his armies, the pomp and eclat of his court, and... read more

Luke 17:22-25. The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man One day of mercy, or one day wherein you might converse with me, as you do now. Having spoken to the Pharisees, he now addressed his disciples, and in the hearing of the Pharisees prophesied concerning the destruction of the Jewish state, whose constitution, both religious and civil, was the chief obstacle to the erection of his kingdom; for the attachment which the Jews had to their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 17:20-37

106. Coming of the kingdom (Luke 17:20-37)The Pharisees were looking for visible signs so that they could work out when the Messiah’s kingdom would begin. Jesus told them that since he was the Messiah and was living among them, the Messiah’s kingdom had already begun (Luke 17:20-21; cf. Matthew 16:1-4).Turning to his disciples, Jesus added that one day he would be taken from them. In their longing for him to return they were not to be led astray by rumours and false prophecies. His coming would... read more
