Exegesis
The coordinated clause kai ouk opsesthe {καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε | kaì ouk ópsesthe} ‘and you will not see’ uses kai in a contextually adversative sense, setting a stark contrast between the disciples’ yearning and the divinely allowed outcome of not seeing; the future middle opsesthe echoes idein with a personal, experiential nuance, thus heightening the tension between desire and denial in the verse.
In context — Luke 17:22
And He said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man , and you will not see it.”
