And he said unto the disciples,
The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.
All Commentaries on Luke 17:22 Go To Luke 17
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
He now speaks to the holy disciples as his true companions. He says, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and will not see it.” … He would have them prepared for all that can cause people grief. He wants them ready to endure patiently so that approved they may enter the kingdom of God. He warns them that before his coming from heaven at the consummation of the world, tribulation and persecution will precede him. They will wish to see one of the days of the Son of man, such as those when they were still going around with Christ and speaking with him. Commentary on Luke, Homily
