Luke 17:20-21 Part 1 of 2

One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs. You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."

Matthew 3:1-2  In those days John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

Matthew 4:17  From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

Mark 1:15  "The time promised by God has come at last!" he (Jesus) announced. "The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"

Matthew 10:7  "Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

Luke 4:43  But he (Jesus) replied, "I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent." 

Luke 10:9-11  "Heal the sick, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God is near you now.' But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 'We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show that we have abandoned you to your fate. And know this--the Kingdom of God is near!' "

Matthew 12:28  "But if I (Jesus) am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you." 

Luke 11:20  "But if I (Jesus) am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you."

Matthew 16:28  "And I (Jesus) tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." (see verses 17:1-13)

Mark 9:1  Jesus went on to say, "I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God arrive in great power!" (see verses 1-13)
