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.

The Coming of the Kingdom of God(A)
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,(B) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’(C) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”[a]
22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,(D) but you will not see it.(E)
