Luke 17:22

Read in context

Luke 17:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24 For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
