'Know' in the Bible

“I baptize with water,” John answered them. “Someone stands among you, but you don’t know Him.

I didn’t know Him, but I came baptizing with water so He might be revealed to Israel.”

I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.“Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you,” Jesus answered.

When the chief servant tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom

This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

“Are you a teacher of Israel and don’t know these things?” Jesus replied.

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.

but I know you—that you have no love for God within you.

They were saying, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained?”

Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?

But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed!”

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

Then they asked Him, “Where is Your Father?”“You know neither Me nor My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would also know My Father.”

They did not know He was speaking to them about the Father.

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own. But just as the Father taught Me, I say these things.

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill Me because My word is not welcome among you.

Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death—ever!’

You’ve never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don’t know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

“Where is He?” they asked.“I don’t know,” he said.

“We know this is our son and that he was born blind,” his parents answered.

“But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.”

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

He answered, “Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see!”

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man—we don’t know where He’s from!”

“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

“I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me,

as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep.

My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.

But if I am doing them and you don’t believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.”

Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.”

Martha said, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

I know that You always hear Me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so they may believe You sent Me.”

One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

I know that His command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t understand now, but afterward you will know.”

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you?

If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

I’m not speaking about all of you; I know those I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: The one who eats My bread has raised his heel against Me.

By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

You know the way to where I am going.”

“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where You’re going. How can we know the way?”

“If you know Me, you will also know My Father. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you.

On the contrary, I am going away so that the world may know that I love the Father. Just as the Father commanded Me, so I do.“Get up; let’s leave this place.

I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father.

But they will do all these things to you on account of My name, because they don’t know the One who sent Me.

They said, “What is this He is saying, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”

Now we know that You know everything and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God.”

This is eternal life:that they may know You, the only true God,and the One You have sent—Jesus Christ.

Now they know that all thingsYou have given to Me are from You,

I am in them and You are in Me.May they be made completely one,so the world may know You have sent Meand have loved them as You have loved Me.

Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”

Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging Him.”

So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”

So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put Him!”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”“Feed My lambs,” He told him.

A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”“Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.

He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you love Me?” He said, “Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.”“Feed My sheep,” Jesus said.

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
