Luke 17:22 Douay-Rheims

And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.

Bede the Venerable

c. A.D. 672–735 Patristic

Or, by the day of Christ He signifies His kingdom, which we hope will come, and He rightly says, one day, because there shall no darkness disturb the glory of that blessed time. It is right then to long for the day of Christ, yet from the earnestness of our longing, let us not vision to ourselves as though the day were at hand. Hence it follows, And they shall say to you, Lo here! and, Lo there!
