Luke 17:25. But first must he suffer, etc. Peculiar to Luke, and a proof that the discourse is put in its proper place. This prediction, however, gives no clew to the time and place of His coming, but cautions them against expecting a temporal kingdom and triumph now, since the sufferings of the King were first to come.

Be rejected of this generation. To be taken literally, as an intimation of the speedy rejection of our Lord. The verses which follow point to a virtual rejection by the world, to continue until His return.
