Summary/Abstract: In my work I focus on the Kingdom of God in Luke 17,21. Is it inside the man or among the people. One word ἐντὸς, two translations, and many interpretations. How ἐντὸς uses the Greek translation of the Old Testament called the Septuagint? Always mean inside. As the Fathers of the Church interpreted Luke 17,21? They said that the Kingdom of God is within people, but only Christians. And as apocryphal literature interprets the Gospel of Luke 17,21? Gospel of Thomas refers to the Gospel of Luke, that the Kingdom of God is within us and outside us. In my opinion has more arguments translation: “The kingdom of God is within you”. Then summary. We see Polish translations of the Bible, the modern and the old text. Translation and like interpretation has changed over the centuries.
