John 18:36
_ _ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world — He does not say “not over,” but “not of this world” — that is, in its origin and nature; therefore “no such kingdom as need give thee or thy master the least alarm.”
_ _ if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews — “A very convincing argument; for if His servants did not fight to prevent their King from being delivered up to His enemies, much less would they use force for the establishment of His kingdom” [Webster and Wilkinson].
_ _ but now — but the fact is.
_ _ is my kingdom not from hence — Our Lord only says whence His kingdom is not — first simply affirming it, next giving proof of it, then reaffirming it. This was all that Pilate had to do with. The positive nature of His kingdom He would not obtrude upon one who was as little able to comprehend it, as entitled officially to information about it. (It is worthy of notice that the “MY,” which occurs four times in this one verse — thrice of His kingdom, and once of His servants — is put in the emphatic form). |
John 18:36
My kingdom is not of this world — Is not an external, but a spiritual kingdom; that I might not be delivered to the Jews — Which Pilate had already attempted to do, John 18:31, and afterward actually did, John 19:16. |
