'Told' in the Bible

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated Christ).

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Jesus said to him, "Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

His mother told the servants, "Whatever he tells you, do it."

Jesus told the servants, "Fill the water jars with water." So they filled them up to the very top.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the head steward," and they did.

If I have told you people about earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Surely he can't be the Messiah, can he?"

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the report of the woman who testified, "He told me everything I ever did."

Jesus told him, "Go home; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

So he asked them the time when his condition began to improve, and they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon the fever left him."

So he told them, "My Father is working until now, and I too am working."

Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.

So Jesus added, "Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come."

Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus replied, "What I have told you from the beginning.

But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

He replied, "The man called Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and was able to see."

He answered, "I told you already and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don't want to become his disciples too, do you?"

Jesus told him, "You have seen him; he is the one speaking with you."

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

Jesus replied, "I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father's name testify about me.

Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus has died,

Philip went and told Andrew, and they both went and told Jesus.

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me."

There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe.

I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.

Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.

"I have told you all these things so that you will not fall away.

But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. "I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

"I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage -- I have conquered the world."

They replied, "Jesus the Nazarene." He told them, "I am he." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.)

Jesus replied, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go."

Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!" The Jewish leaders replied, "We cannot legally put anyone to death."

Jesus replied, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or have others told you about me?"

So she went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them what Jesus had said to her.

The other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he replied, "Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!"

Simon Peter told them, "I am going fishing." "We will go with you," they replied. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

He told them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Jesus said a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Shepherd my sheep."

(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, "Follow me."
