⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, ^(A)You are the Son of God! You are ^(B)the King of Israel!”

^36 (A)Jesus answered, ^(B)“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”

Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, ^(A)that I should bear ^(B)witness to the truth. Everyone who ^(C)is of the truth ^(D)hears My voice.”

The Coming of the Kingdom^(A)

²⁰ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

^21 (A)nor will they say, ^[a]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, ^(B)the kingdom of God is ^[b]within you.”

²⁰ But if I cast out demons ^(A)with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

^69 (A)Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”
