Abstract
The interpretation of Lk 17,20-21 can be taken as remarkably good example of how a short biblical passage can stimulate numerous different thoughts and explanations. Indeed, up to the present time there are controversial interpretations of some parts and passages as a whole. The different points of view in understanding and interpretation are based on two proposals of expressions μετά παρατηρήσεως ί εντός 'υμών. The author in this article includes himself into discussion that still lasts. The purpose of this article is to try to brighten up some perplexing questions that are related to the two assertions of biblical passage regarding the God's kingdom. The author, first, brings up different exegetic attempts of biblical passage. Secondly, he evaluates critically positive and negative elements of these attempts. And finally, the author tries to establish the real meaning and range of these two assertions as well as precise meaning related to Luke's text as a whole.
