Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 17:25

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

Before my Kingdom shall appear in that Glory, I must suffer many things, and be rejected of this Generation; you may be seduced to think that I am going to put on a Crown as a secular Prince to deliver you from your Enemies. Alas! I am going to a Cross: I shall have a day, but this is mine Enemies Day, and the Power of Darkness both with reference to me and you. Look for nothing in, or from this generation but to see mee mocked, scourged, spit upon, buffetted, hanged upon a Cross, rejected, by Men, these will be the issues of Divine Providence, as to this Generation, look for better things hereafter, but look for no better, from, or in this Generation.
