New International Version

The Coming of the Kingdom of God^(A)

²⁰Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come,^(B) Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, ²¹nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’^(C) because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”^[a]

²²Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man,^(D) but you will not see it.^(E) ²³People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them.^(F) ²⁴For the Son of Man in his day^[b] will be like the lightning,^(G) which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. ²⁵But first he must suffer many things^(H) and be rejected^(I) by this generation.^(J)
