    In Luke 17:20, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the reply to a question about when the kingdom of God comes; the APB renders the clause, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 17:20, the APB presents the term in the clause "does not come with observation." This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than a precise one-to-one equivalence.
