Daniel 7:9-14
English Standard Version
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 “As I looked,
(A)thrones were placed,
and the (B)Ancient of Days took his seat;
(C)his clothing was white as snow,
and (D)the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
(E)its wheels were burning fire.
10 (F)A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
(G)a thousand thousands (H)served him,
(I)and ten thousand times ten thousand (J)stood before him;
the (K)court sat in judgment,
and (L)the books were opened.
11 “I looked then because of the sound of (M)the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, (N)the beast was killed, and its body destroyed (O)and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, (P)their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and (Q)behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the (R)Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 (S)And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all (T)peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
(U)his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:9-14
New International Version
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days(A) took his seat.(B)
His clothing was as white as snow;(C)
the hair of his head was white like wool.(D)
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels(E) were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire(F) was flowing,
coming out from before him.(G)
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books(H) were opened.
11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking.(I) I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.(J) 12 (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a](K) coming(L) with the clouds of heaven.(M) He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority,(N) glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him.(O) His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom(P) is one that will never be destroyed.(Q)
Footnotes
- Daniel 7:13 The Aramaic phrase bar enash means human being. The phrase son of man is retained here because of its use in the New Testament as a title of Jesus, probably based largely on this verse.

John 18:33-37
English Standard Version
My Kingdom Is Not of This World
33 (A)So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, (B)“Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, (C)“My kingdom (D)is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, (E)my servants would have been fighting, that (F)I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, (G)“You say that I am a king. (H)For this purpose I was born and for this purpose (I)I have come into the world—(J)to bear witness to the truth. (K)Everyone who is (L)of the truth (M)listens to my voice.”

John 18:33-37
New International Version
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(A) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(B)
34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(C) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(D) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(E)
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(F) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(G)
