'Kingdom of God' in the Bible

He said, "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!"

He said to them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those outside, everything is in parables,

He also said, "The kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground.

He also asked, "To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?

And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."

Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"

The disciples were astonished at these words. But again Jesus said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."

When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

I tell you the truth, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

Joseph of Arimathea, a highly regarded member of the council, who was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
