Exegesis
The interrogative adverb pote {πότε | pó-te} ‘when’ introduces the content of their inquiry, governing the present middle/passive indicative erchetai {ἔρχεται | ér-che-tai} ‘comes’ and focusing on the anticipated arrival of hē basileia tou theou {ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ | hē ba-si-lei-a tou the-ou} ‘the kingdom of God’.
In context — Luke 17:20
And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation .”
