So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"The apostles still don't get it. I don't blame them for that, though. They had been raised with one line of thinking regarding the Messiah: that He would come and free them from their oppressors, and rule in God's name.
Now, they are certain that Jesus is this Messiah. He's come back from the dead, in a way that no one could refute if He revealed Himself publicly. But they didn't understand that the salvation would be a spiritual one, not a mere physical or political one.
