John 18:33-36 Part 2 of 2

Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"  "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to about me?"  "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place." 

My kingdom is not of this world 
Matthew 3:1-2  In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." 
Daniel 7:14  "He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed."
Matthew 4:17  From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Matthew 6:9-10  "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' "
Luke 11:20  "But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you."
Luke 21:31  "Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near."

If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders 
Matthew 26:53  "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (a legion had 6,000 soldiers)

But now my kingdom is from another place 
Luke 17:20-21  Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."
