Luke 17:20-23 ESV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 17:20-37

We have here a discourse of Christ's concerning the kingdom of God, that is, the kingdom of the Messiah, which was now shortly to be set up, and of which there was great expectation. I. Here is the demand of the Pharisees concerning it, which occasioned this discourse. They asked when the kingdom of God should come, forming a notion of it as a temporal kingdom, which should advance the Jewish nation above the nations of the earth. They were impatient to hear some tidings of its approach; they... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 17:20-37

17:20-37 When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with signs that you can watch for; nor will they say, 'Look here!' or 'Look there!' For--look you--the kingdom of God is within you." He said to his disciples, "Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not see it. And they will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!' Do not depart, and do not follow them.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:20

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees ,.... Or "asked" by them; who expected the Messiah, and that when he was come he would set up a temporal kingdom, and deliver them from the Roman yoke; when they should enjoy great liberty, peace, and prosperity; so that they might put the following question to Christ in a serious manner, agreeably to these expectations: or it may be occasioned by the frequent mention that had been made of the kingdom of God by John, and Christ, and his disciples in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:21

Neither shall they say ,.... Or shall it be said by any, making their observations, and pointing to this, or that place: lo here, or lo there ; in this, or that place, country or city, the kingdom of God is set up; the throne of the Messiah is there; and there are the "regalia", or ensigns of his regal power; no such thing will fall under the observations of man, not but that this would be said, and was said by some persons, as it is suggested it should, Luke 17:23 and it appears from ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:22

And he said unto his disciples ,.... Who also were expecting a worldly kingdom, and external honours, and temporal emoluments, and riches; and therefore to take off their minds from these things, and that they might not have their expectations raised this way, but, on the other hand, look for afflictions and persecutions, he observes to them, the days will come when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the son of man ; ימות המשיח , "the days of the Messiah", a phrase frequently... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 17:23

And they shall say unto you, see here, or see there ,.... That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the word Christ is added as in Matthew 24:23 from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and deliver the people of the Jews out of all their distresses and calamities by the Romans, Go not after them nor follow them : the last clause, "nor... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:20

Cometh not with observation - With scrupulous observation. That this is the proper meaning of the original, μετα παρατηρησεως , Kypke and others have amply proved from the best Greek writers. As if he had said: "The kingdom of God, the glorious religion of the Messiah, does not come in such a way as to be discerned only by sagacious critics, or is only to be seen by those who are scrupulously watching for it; it is not of such a nature as to be confined to one place, so that men might say... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:21

Lo here! or, lo there! - Perhaps those Pharisees thought that the Messiah was kept secret, in some private place, known only to some of their rulers; and that by and by he should be proclaimed in a similar way to that in which Joash was by Jehoiada the priest. See the account, 2 Chronicles 23:1-11 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:22

When ye shall desire to see one of the days - As it was our Lord's constant custom to support and comfort the minds of his disciples, we cannot suppose that he intimates here that they shall be left destitute of those blessings necessary for their support in a day of trial. When he says, Ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, he either means, ye of this nation, ye Jews, and addresses his disciples as if they should bear witness to the truth of the declaration; intimating... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:23

And they shall say - Or, And If they shall say. Two MSS., the Syriac and Armenian, have εαν , If. See here - KM, sixteen others, and the later Syriac, have ὁ χριστος , Behold the Christ is here. This is undoubtedly the meaning of the place. See on Matthew 24:23 ; (note). read more
