[At the start of his public ministry:] The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.
k0114-5/m0417
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
l0418-21
I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also:
for therefore was I sent.
l0443/k0138
Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
l0620/m0503
Thy kingdom come.
They will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
m0610/l1102
[To the Twelve:] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils:
freely ye received, freely give.
m1007-8
[To the Seventy:] And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
such things as are set before you: and heal the sick that are therein, and say
unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city
ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and
say, even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we do wipe off
against you: howbeit know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.
l1008-11
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city
or house divided against itself shall not stand: and if Satan casteth out
Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? And if
I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore
shall they be your judges. But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then
is the kingdom of God come upon you. m1225-8/l1117-20/k0323-6
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo,
here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
l1720-1
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than
John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
l0728/m1111
The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
l1616/m1112
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to
destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass
away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all
things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise
enter into the kingdom of heaven.
m0517-20/l1617
The Passion & the Kingdom of God
With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for
I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.
[And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said:]
Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not
drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall
come.
l2215-18/m2626-9/k1422-5
[Caiafas: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?]
I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and
coming with the clouds of heaven.
k1461-2/m2663-4/l2267-70
My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, them would
my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my
kingdom not from hence.
[Pilate: Art thou a king then?]
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am
I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one
that is of the truth heareth my voice. j1836-7/l2303/k1502/m2711
