While they were listeningto these things,Jesus wenton to tella parable,becauseHe was nearJerusalem,and they supposedthat the kingdomof Godwas goingto appearimmediately.
Nowhaving been questionedby the Phariseesas to whenthe kingdomof Godwas coming,He answeredthem and said,"The kingdomof Godis not comingwith signs to be observed;
Whenthe dayswere approachingfor His ascension,He was determinedto goto Jerusalem;
Sowhen they had come together,they were askingHim, saying,"Lord,is it at thistimeYou are restoringthe kingdomto Israel?"
