Logion 113
| 113. His disciples said to him,
"When will the kingdom come?" Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying, `Here it is' or `There it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it." |
Lk 17:20-22 (Cf. Th 3) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, `Lo here!' or, `Lo there!' for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you." And he said unto the disciples, "The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it…." (Cf. Mk 13:21,22; Mt 24:23,24; Lk 17:23) |
