Lucas 17:23

23 Les dirán: “¡Mírenlo allá! ¡Mírenlo acá!” No vayan; no los sigan.

Lucas 17:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 17:23

And they shall say unto you, see here, or see there
That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the word Christ is added as in ( Matthew 24:23 ) from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and deliver the people of the Jews out of all their distresses and calamities by the Romans,

Go not after them nor follow [them]:
the last clause, "nor follow them", is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; the meaning is, give no credit to them; as if Christ was come again in person, and was in such a place, do not go along with them, where they direct, as into the desert, or into the secret chambers; for to follow them will be very dangerous, of bad consequence, as well as vain and fruitless; see ( Acts 5:36 Acts 5:37 ) .

Lucas 17:23 In-Context

21 No van a decir: “¡Mírenlo acá! ¡Mírenlo allá!” Dense cuenta de que el reino de Dios está entre ustedes.

22 A sus discípulos les dijo:—Llegará el tiempo en que ustedes anhelarán vivir siquiera uno de los días del Hijo del hombre, pero no podrán.

23 Les dirán: “¡Mírenlo allá! ¡Mírenlo acá!” No vayan; no los sigan.

24 Porque en su día el Hijo del hombre será como el relámpago que fulgura e ilumina el cielo de un extremo al otro.

25 Pero antes él tiene que sufrir muchas cosas y ser rechazado por esta generación.
