'Know' in the Bible

The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

The woman *said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.”

But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place.

There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”

We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.”

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.”

Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

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

But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

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

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’

and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

They said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.”

He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”

The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

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

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

but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”

Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

Martha *said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

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

I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking.

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

And you know the way where I am going.”

Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”

If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”

Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

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

but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.”

Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for 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 Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”

Pilate came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.”

So Pilate *said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”

So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”

And they *said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She *said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

When she had said this, she turned around and *saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “Tend My lambs.”

He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”

He *said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus *said to him, “Tend My sheep.
