It's found in Luke 17:21.
This is, however, an unfortunate translation in the King James Bible, when you consider to whom Jesus is speaking:
"And when He was DEMANDED OF THE PHARISEES, when the Kingdom of God should come, He answered THEM and said..." (verse 20).
These are the same ones, along with the scribes, to whom Jesus in another place said:
"...woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matt.23:13)
Jesus reveals that the Kingdom of God is something "we enter into"... not, it enters into us.
Jesus told the Pharisee, Nicodemus: "...Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE the Kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
"...Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot ENTER INTO the Kingdom of God." (verse 5)
The Bible makes it clear that the coming Kingdom of God is something that we ENTER INTO... not, it into us.
But, most of all... Jesus NEVER would have told the Pharisees, who were HYPOCRITES, and a GENERATION OF VIPERS out to kill Him -- that the Kingdom of God was within THEM.
Some translations, like the RSV, say correctly: "...the Kingdom of God is IN THE MIDST OF YOU." (Luke 17:21)
Jesus was speaking of HIMSELF, the KING of the coming Kingdom of God... who stood in their midst... because THEY HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHO HE WAS!
In Daniel's prophetic book, "king" and "kingdom" are used interchangeably for each other. A king and his kingdom are the same. A kingdom is as the king is.
In his interpretation of the composite metals of the "metalic man" in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel tells him:
"...THOU [he, Nebuchanezzar the KING] art this head of gold." (Dan.2:38)
"And after thee shall arise another KINGDOM [less precious metal, silver]inferior to thee, and another third KINGDOM of brass... and the fourth KINGDOM shall be as strong as iron..." (verses 39-40).
The terms "king" and "kingdom" are synonymous with each other. And, Jesus, the King... the personification of the Kingdom of God... who stood in the midst of those hypocritical [and blinded] Pharisees.
