Lucas 17:23

23 Dir-vos-ão: Ei-lo ali! ou: Ei-lo aqui! não vades, nem os sigais;

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 nem dirão: Ei-lo aqui! ou: Eí-lo ali! pois o reino de Deus está dentro de vós.

22 Então disse aos discípulos: Dias virão em que desejareis ver um dos dias do Filho do homem, e não o vereis.

23 Dir-vos-ão: Ei-lo ali! ou: Ei-lo aqui! não vades, nem os sigais;

24 pois, assim como o relâmpago, fuzilando em uma extremidade do céu, ilumina até a outra extremidade, assim será também o Filho do homem no seu dia.

25 Mas primeiro é necessário que ele padeça muitas coisas, e que seja rejeitado por esta geração.
