You will find the quote in Luke 17:21. The complete sentence is: "The kingdom of God is within you, and all around you." The idea that is being expressed is that God desires to work through us and not upon us. It is a radical idea, as compared to the Old Testament ideas of God, who is seen as outside, rather than within. It is also a more positivist attitude about the potential for inner transformation and renewal.

The saying (in its entirety) is also found in the Gospel of Thomas in the Nag Hamadi scroll which was discovered in 1945. The Gospel of Thomas is not in the current versions of the Bible.
