'Again' in the Bible

"You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.

"Again, you have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You must not swear an oath falsely,' but, "You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'

"Again, the kingdom from heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.

"Again, the kingdom from heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea that gathered all kinds of fish.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God."

So off they went. He went out again about noon and about three o'clock and did the same thing.

Then Jesus, deeply moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and at once they could see again. So they followed him.

Seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He told it, "May fruit never come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree dried up.

Again, he sent other servants to them, a greater number than the first, but the tenant farmers treated them the same way.

Again Jesus spoke to them in parables. He said,

Again you say, "Whoever swears an oath by the altar is excused, but whoever swears by the gift that is on it must keep his oath.'

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

because at that time there will be great suffering, the kind that hasn't happened from the beginning of the world until now and certainly won't ever happen again.

I tell all of you I will never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it with you once again in my Father's kingdom."

After leaving them again, he went away and prayed again for the third time, saying the same thing.

Again he denied it and swore with an oath, "I don't know the man!"

Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice again and died.

Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd kept coming to him, and he kept teaching them.

Jesus went into the synagogue again, and a man with a paralyzed hand was there.

But he sternly ordered them again and again not to tell people who he was.

Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

Then Jesus began to teach again beside the sea. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while the entire crowd remained beside the sea on the shore.

When Jesus again had crossed to the other side in a boat, a large crowd gathered around him by the seashore.

Then he called to the crowd again and told them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand!

At that time, after a large crowd again had gathered together with nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and told them,

Leaving them, he got into a boat again and crossed to the other side.

Then Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes again, and he saw clearly. His sight was restored, and he saw everything perfectly, even from a distance.

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that won't let him talk or hear I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!"

Then Jesus left that place and went into the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom.

Back in the house, the disciples asked him about this again.

As Jesus was setting out again, a man ran up to him, knelt down in front of him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

Once again, Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they'll condemn him to death. Then they'll hand him over to the unbelievers,

Then Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man told him, "Rabbouni, I want to see again."

Jesus told him, "Go. Your faith has made you well." At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.

So he told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" Now his disciples were listening to this.

Then they went into Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking in the Temple, the high priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him

Again, the man sent another servant to them. They beat the servant over the head and treated him shamefully.

because those days will be a time of suffering, a kind that has not happened from the beginning of God's creation until now, and certainly will never happen again.

I tell all of you with certainty, I'll never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before.

Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

But he kept silent and didn't answer at all. The high priest asked him again, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"

The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

Again he denied it. After a little while, the people who were standing there began to say to Peter again, "Obviously you're one of them, because you are a Galilean!"

So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call "the King of the Jews'?"

So he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have observed and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear again, the dead are raised, and the destitute hear the good news.

and knelt at his feet behind him. She was crying and began to wash his feet with her tears and dry them with her hair. Then she kissed his feet over and over again, anointing them constantly with the perfume.

Again he said, "To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside, knock on the door, and say again and again, "Lord, open the door for us!' But he will answer you, "I don't know where you come from.'

Look! Your house is left vacant to you. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

After they have whipped him, they'll kill him, but on the third day he'll rise again."

"What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, I want to see again!"

So Jesus told him, "See again! Your faith has made you well."

Immediately the man could see again and began to follow Jesus, glorifying God. All the people saw this and gave praise to God.

because I tell all of you, I will never eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in the kingdom of God."

They blindfolded him and asked him over and over again, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"

But Pilate wanted to let Jesus go, so he appealed to them again,

The next day, John was standing there again with two of his disciples.

Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again.

But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never become thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become a well of water for him, springing up to eternal life."

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the hillside by himself.

At daybreak he appeared again in the Temple, and all the people came to him. So he sat down and began to teach them.

Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground.

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Later on, he told them again, "I'm going away, and you'll look for me, but you will die in your sin. You cannot come where I'm going."

So they asked the formerly blind man again, "What do you say about him, since it was your eyes he healed?" He said, "He is a prophet."

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

So again Jesus said, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, I'm the gate for the sheep.

This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

Again the Jewish leaders picked up stones to stone him to death.

Again they tried to seize him, but he slipped away from them.

Then he went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he remained there.

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."

Martha told him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

Groaning deeply again, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying in front of it.

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer robe, he sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I've done to you?

And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again."

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he asked them, "Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again'?

Now you are having pain. But I'll see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

So he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus from Nazareth."

Peter again denied it, and immediately a rooster crowed.

Pilate asked him, "What is "truth'?" and then he went out to the Jewish leaders again and told them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.

At this, they shouted out again, "Not this fellow, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

Jesus told them again, "Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

A week later, his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is what happened:

But to keep it from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in this name."

So they were convinced by him. After calling in the apostles and beating them, they again ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus and let them go.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing and did not see Philip again.

He has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so he would see again."
