Luke 17:21

_ _ Lo here! ... lo there! — shut up within this or that sharply defined and visible geographical or ecclesiastical limit.

_ _ within you — is of an internal and spiritual character (as contrasted with their outside views of it). But it has its external side too.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 17:20-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 17:21

Neither shall they say, Lo here, or lo there — This shall not be the language of those who are, or shall be sent by me, to declare the coming of my kingdom. For behold the kingdom of God is within or among you — Look not for it in distant times or remote places: it is now in the midst of you: it is come: it is present in the soul of every true believer: it is a spiritual kingdom, an internal principle. Wherever it exists, it exists in the heart.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 17:21

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is (c) within you.

(c) You look around for the Messiah as though he were absent, but he is amongst you in the midst of you.
