'Saying' in the Bible

But [as] he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

saying, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising and have come to worship him."

Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."

And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,

saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."

and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!"

For this is the one who was spoken about by the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'"

But John tried to prevent him, saying, "{I need} to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

And behold, [there was] a voice from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

And opening his mouth he began to teach them, saying,

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?,'

And behold, a leper approached [and] worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean."

And extending his hand he touched him, saying, "I am willing, be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

and saying, "Lord, my slave is lying paralyzed in my house, terribly tormented!"

And they came [and] woke him, saying, "Lord, save [us]! We are perishing!"

And the men were astonished, saying, "What sort of [man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"

And behold, they cried out, saying, "{What do you have to do with us}, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

So the demons implored him, saying, "If you are going to expel us, send us into the herd of pigs."

Then the disciples of John approached him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"

[As] he was saying these [things] to them, behold, one of the rulers came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!"

And [as] Jesus was going away from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be done for you."

And their eyes were opened, and Jesus sternly warned them, saying, "See [that] no one finds out."

And [after] the demon had been expelled, the one who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished, saying, "{This has never been seen before} in Israel!"

But the Pharisees were saying, "By the ruler of demons he expels the demons!"

Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, "Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans,

And [as you] are going, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near!'

saying, 'We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not mourn.'

And behold, [there was] a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" in order that they could accuse him.

And all the crowds were amazed and began saying, "Perhaps this one is the Son of David!"

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!"

And he spoke many [things] to them in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow,

He put before them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

He put before them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took [and] sowed in his field.

Jesus spoke all these [things] to the crowds in parables, and he was saying nothing to them without a parable,

Then he left the crowds [and] came into the house, and his disciples came to him saying, "Explain the parable of the darnel in the field to us."

because John had been saying to him, "It is not permitted for you to have her."

Now [when it] was evening, the disciples came to him saying, "The place is desolate and the hour {is late}. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages [and] purchase food for themselves."

But the disciples, [when they] saw him walking on the sea, were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Have courage, I am [he]! Do not be afraid!"

But [when he] saw the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

So those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God!"

Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,

Then the disciples came [and] said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended [when they] heard this saying?"

And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came [and] cried out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter [is] severely possessed by a demon!"

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up [and] asked him, saying, "Send her away, because she is crying out after us!"

But she came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

So they were discussing [this] among themselves, saying, "[It is] because we did not take bread."

Now [when] Jesus came to the region of Caesarea {Philippi}, he began asking his disciples, saying, "Who do people say [that] the Son of Man is?"

And Peter took him aside [and] began to rebuke him, saying, {God forbid}, Lord! This will never happen to you!"

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, "Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

And the disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

He said, "Yes." And [when he] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes--from their own sons, or from foreigners?"

At that time the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

Then the slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to do obeisance to him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!'

But that slave went out [and] found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke [him], saying, 'Pay back everything that you owe!'

Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground [and] began to implore him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'

But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this saying but [those] to whom it has been given.

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

saying, 'These last [people] worked one hour and you made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the burning heat!'

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie [them] [and] bring [them] to me.

Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"

And [when] he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"

And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!"

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

And [when they] saw [it], the disciples were astonished, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

And [after] he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him [while he] was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these [things]? And who gave you this authority?"

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

So finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

And continuing, Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,

Again he sent other slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened [cattle] have been slaughtered, and everything [is] ready. Come to the wedding celebration!" '

And they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and {you do not care what anyone thinks}, {because you do not regard the opinion of people}.

saying, "Teacher, Moses said if someone dies without having children, his brother is to marry his wife and {father} descendants for his brother.

saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."

He said to them, "How then does David, by the Spirit, call him 'Lord,' saying,

saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.

And [as] he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.

But the wise ones answered saying, "Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell [olive oil] and buy [some] for yourselves.'

And later the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open [the door] for us!'

And the one who had received the five talents came up [and] brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you handed over to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents!'

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed [you], or thirsty and give [you something] to drink?

Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?'

Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you did not do [it] to me.'

But they were saying, "Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people."

And [when] the disciples saw [it] they were indignant, saying, "{Why} this waste?

Now on the first [day] of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

And [after] taking the cup and giving thanks he gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,

And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you [will]."

Again for the second time he went away [and] prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done."

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

Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, "[The one] whom I kiss--he is [the one]. Arrest him!"
