'Things' in the Bible

All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.

He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.

And to the pigeon-dealers He said, "Take these things away. Do not turn my Father's house into a market."

So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"

"Are you," replied Jesus, "'the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things?

From this time forward I tell you things before they happen, in order that when they do happen you may believe that I am He.

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.

In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.

"These things I have spoken to you in order that I may have joy in you, and that your joy may become perfect.

"These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.

But I have spoken these things to you in order that when the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you all this at first, because I was still with you.

Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.

But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
