This is the beginning of a new event. Some translations start it with "One day" or "Once." It can be stated in active form. AT: "One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, 'When will the kingdom of God come?'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
People thought that they would be able to see signs of the kingdom coming. The idea of signs can be stated clearly. AT: "The kingdom of God does not come with signs that people can observe" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
