Luke 17:25

But first . . . suffer, etc.--This shows that the more immediate reference of Luke 17:23 is to an event soon to follow the death of Christ. It was designed to withdraw the attention of "His disciples" from the glare in which His foregoing words had invested the approaching establishment of His kingdom.

Luke 17:20-25

COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND OF THE SON OF MAN. (Luke 17:20-37)

when, etc.--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.
