Abstract

This is the significant passage recorded only by Luke and rendered in the KJ version: "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 within you." The passage poses a number of linguistic and exegetical difficulties.
