Luke 17:22

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.

And he said unto the disciples - for they needed light on this subject, as well as the Pharisees,

The days will come, [ Eleusontai (G2064) heemerai (G2250)] - rather, 'There shall come days,'

When ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it - that is, one day of His own presence among them, such as they now had. See Matthew 9:15. 'So far will the kingdom I speak of be from bringing with it My personal presence, that amidst the approaching calamities and confusion, and the anxiety ye will be in for the infant cause-which will then be felt to lie all upon your own feeble shoulders-ye will be fain to say, O that we had the Master among us again but for one day! But ye shall not have Him?' He was to make other and more suitable provision, in the mission of the Comforter, for their fluttering hearts; but of that it was not now the time and place to speak.
