Jesus Christ » Kingdom of » Its nature
and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field: and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed. But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane. read more.
The servants of the proprietor came, and said to him, Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it the zizane? He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out? he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them. Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field: which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it. Another parable spake he to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and covered up in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will bring forth things hid from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field. And he replying said to them, He that sowed the good seed, is the Son of man; the field is the world: and the good seed are those who are the children of the kingdom; but the zizane are the children of the wicked one; the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity; and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field: which when a man findeth, he hideth, and for joy thereof, goeth away and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of beautiful pearls: who, having discovered one of vast price, went away and sold all that he possessed, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away. Just so shall it be at the end of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked from amidst the just, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?

neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Jesus replied, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom had been of this world, then would my servants have struggled hard, that I should not have been delivered up to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. Then said Pilate unto him. Art thou not a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. For this end I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I should be a witness for the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice.
Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more. Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds [of corruption]; laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:
Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches the pharisees concerning the coming of his kingdom (in peraea)
And being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Then said he to the disciples, The days will come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it. read more.
And they will say to you, Lo here! and lo there! go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning flashing from one quarter under heaven, shineth to another quarter under heaven; so shall the Son of man also be at his day. But he must first suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed them all. Even so, likewise, it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him. Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever seeketh to preserve his life shall lose it; and whosoever would lose it, shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two shall be in the field; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. 37 And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
