'Says' in the Bible

His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you can't come?'"

Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"

They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."

Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
