約翰福音 - 第 18 章
36耶穌回答說,我的國不屬這世界。我的國若屬這世界,我的臣僕必要爭戰,使我不至於被交給猶太人。只是我的國不屬這世界。Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."
37彼拉多就對他說,這樣,你是王嗎?耶穌回答說,你說我是王。我為此而生,也為此來到世間,特為給真理作見證。凡屬真理的人,就聽我的話。
"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

“我的國不在這個世界”這話是根本性的錯誤,完全違背主禱文:願你的國降臨,願你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。..因為國度,權柄,榮耀,全是你的,直到永遠。你顯然不阿門或期望這一點。
結合上面的約18:37,基督的真理必然做王,行在地上,當然涵蓋後來發明的“政治”範疇。政治一詞,對聖經來說,是個偽概念!
拿“政治”一詞切割,劃分或限定或聖經或基督教,錯了。因為哪裡有黑暗,哪裡就需要光照。
