Contextual Overview
20 And, being questioned by the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said - The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching; 21 Neither shall they say - Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you. 22 But he said unto the disciples - There will come days - when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see. 23 And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not depart, and do notpursue. 24 For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man. 25 But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation. 26 And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, - until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 In like manner, as it came to pass in the days of Lot, They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, - 29 But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: -

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall say unto you, see here, or see there,.... That is, there is Christ; and in two of Beza's exemplars, the word Christ is added as in Matthew 24:23 from whence it seems to be transcribed: and the sense is, it shall be said by one or another; Christ is in such a place, or he is in such a place, and he will quickly appear, and deliver the people of the Jews out of all their distresses and calamities by the Romans,
Go not after them nor follow [them]: the last clause, "nor follow them", is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; the meaning is, give no credit to them; as if Christ was come again in person, and was in such a place, do not go along with them, where they direct, as into the desert, or into the secret chambers; for to follow them will be very dangerous, of bad consequence, as well as vain and fruitless; see Acts 5:36.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And they shall say ... - Many false Christs, according to Josephus, appeared about that time, attempting to lead away the people. See the notes at Matthew 24:23-27.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 17:23. And they shall say — Or, And IF they shall say. Two MSS., the Syriac and Armenian, have εαν, IF.
See here — KM, sixteen others, and the later Syriac, have ο χριστος, Behold the Christ is here. This is undoubtedly the meaning of the place. Matthew 24:23; Matthew 24:23.
