Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 17:20

And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them, and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.Being asked by the Pharisees ... Some have made it out that these were sincere questioners; but all of the evidence is against it. "Their question amounted to a request for a `sign from heaven'."[28] Ash also saw this as "a rejection of the `signs' Jesus had already... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 17:22

And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.This verse is a reference to the present dispensation, during which Christians, oppressed by temptations and tribulations, will, like the Pharisees of old, desire to see just such cataclysmic events as they wanted to see, and which they erroneously understood would usher in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus shows here that those great physical, cataclysmic... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 17:23

And they shall say to you, Lo there! Lo, here! Go not away, nor follow after them: for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.The word here is clear enough.

The kingdom of God cometh not, &c.— While Jesus was in Ephraim, (John 11:54.) the Pharisees asked him, when the kingdom of God, by which they meant the Messiah's kingdom, was to commence? They had very grand notions of the extent of the Messiah's kingdom, the number of his subjects, the strength of his armies, the pomp and eclat of his court; and were eager to have that glorious empire speedily erected; or, being inveterate enemies of our Lord, they might ask the question in... read more

Luke 17:23. And they shall say to you, &c.— "They, that is, the Jews, who, after having rejected me, shall long for the appearance of the Messiah, (Luke 17:22.) and eagerly listen to every pretender who shall assume that character." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 17:20

20-25. when, &c.—To meet the erroneous views not only of the Pharisees, but of the disciples themselves, our Lord addresses both, announcing the coming of the kingdom under different aspects. It cometh not with observation—with watching or lying in wait, as for something outwardly imposing and at once revealing itself. read more
