Luke 17:22-25
New Living Translation
22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns,[a] but you won’t see it. 23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day[b] when the Son of Man comes. 25 But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly[c] and be rejected by this generation.

Amplified Bible
Second Coming Foretold
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time will come when you will long to see [even] one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 They will say to you, ‘Look [the Messiah is] there!’ or ‘Look [He is] here!’ Do not go away [to see Him], and do not run after them. 24 For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part [a]of the sky, gives light to the other part [b]of the sky, so [visible] will the Son of Man be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be repudiated and rejected and considered unfit [to be the Messiah] by this [unbelieving] generation.
