36 Jesus answered, ^x“My kingdom is ^ynot of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”

16 But rise and ⁱstand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus ^jto the Gentiles in the priestly service of the ^kgospel of God, so that ^lthe offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
