This is not found in the Bible verbatim. It is a doctrinal statement found in the 'Apostle's Creed,' circa 700 AD, which was adapted from the 'Nicene Creed' first written in 325 AD.
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

It is actually from the Apostle's Creed which was likely the first Christian creed. Basically it is a statement of faith. To my knowledge it does not appear in the Bible.
There are slight variations on the phasing, but here is the basic creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
If you are interested in more information about it or its history I recommend you use the Wikipedia article on it to get started.

It is the opening line of the Apostle's Creed. I don't know that it is derived from the Bible though.

I went to www.biblegateway.com and tried to find it and they couldn't come up with anything. I didn't think it actually came from the Bible, but I thought I'd check.
