Luke 17:24

The Coming of the Kingdom

23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.24For 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.25But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
