Luke 17:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

The coming of the kingdom

²⁰ The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was coming.

“God’s kingdom,” replied Jesus, “isn’t the sort of thing you can watch for and see coming. ²¹ People won’t say ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘Look, over there!’ No: God’s kingdom is within your grasp.”

²² Then Jesus said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the son of man, and you won’t see it.
