He himself was not that Light, but came [only] to testify concerning that Light.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

John answered them, "I am baptizing only in water. There is standing among you One with whom you are not acquainted.

I myself did not recognize him; I only came to baptize with water, in order that he might be disclosed to Israel."

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

After this he went down to Capernaum, in company with his mother, his brethren, and his disciples: but they stay'd there only a few days.

the cleansing of the body is only external, but the purification of the spirit is spiritual.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

And yet the Son of man, descended from heaven, is the only one who has ever ascended into heaven.

for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

he that believeth on him, shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the only begotten son of God.

John answered, "A man can receive only what is given to him from heaven.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.

(though Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples) he left Judea,

Jesus answered her, "If you [only] knew the [real] gift of God, and who it is that said to you, '[Please], give me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

how can you believe, who are catching at honour one from another, regardless of that glory that comes from God only?

Philip answered Him, "Not even two hundred coins' worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit." [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer's pay, or about $14,000 in 1994].

The day following, the people who stay'd on the other side of the sea, perceiving that there had been only that single vessel in which his disciples were embark'd, that Jesus did not embark with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone: (however,

Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father.

It is the Holy Spirit who [Note: The Greek word here is "that" instead of "who"] gives life [i.e., understanding the spiritual nature of Jesus' teaching can produce spiritual life]; the flesh is of no value [i.e., understanding Jesus' teaching only in a physical sense makes it worthless]. The words I have spoken to you are [from the] Holy Spirit and [they give] life.

Then after these things happened, Jesus traveled in Galilee [only], for He did not want to move around in Judea because the Jews [there] were trying to kill Him.

So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.

You men go [on] up to the festival, but I am not going up yet [Note: Although "yet" appears in only a few manuscripts, it seems to be the proper idea here], because my time has not yet come. [See verse 6].

And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people.

If anyone [really] desires to do what God wants, he will know whether my teaching comes from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority [only].

Jesus answered them, "I have only performed one deed, and yet you are all amazed at it.

Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

Having heard, they began to leave one by one, starting with the eldest, until only Jesus was left with the woman.

I have many things to say against you: but I only say He that sent me is worthy of belief; and what I have heard of Him, that only I publish to the world.

So, Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man [i.e., to crucify Him], then you will know that I am [the Messiah] and that I do not do anything on my own authority, but I speak [only] those things that the Father has taught me.

But instead, you are trying to kill me, a man who has [only] told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this [kind of thing].

You people are doing what your father does." They said to Him, "We were not born illegitimately; the only Father we have is God."

You belong to your father the devil, and you are [always] wanting to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the [very] beginning [Note: This is probably a reference to Satan's influence on Adam, Eve and Cain in the Garden of Eden] and does not stand for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he only speaks what is part of his nature, because he is a liar and the father of [all] liars.

So the man born blind was summoned a second time, and told, "Now give God the praise; this man, we know quite well, is only a sinner."

now 'tis certain, that God does not countenance impostors: but regards him only that is religious, and executes his commands.

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and destroy: but I am come that they might have life, and have it with all its advantages.

The person who is [only] a hired hand, and not the shepherd, [and] who does not own the sheep [himself], sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away. So, the wolf attacks the flock and scatters [the sheep].

He does this because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.

The Jews answered Him, "We are not stoning you for a good deed, but for your abusive speech [i.e., about God], and because you are claiming to be God, even though you are [only] a man."

The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?

But the disciples said to Him, "Lord, if he is [only] asleep, he will get well."

Now Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,

Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if [only] you had been here, my brother would not have died.

& 31] Now as Bethany is not far from Jerusalem, only about two miles away,

So, when Mary arrived at where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell down at His feet and said, "Lord, if [only] you had been here, my brother would not have died."

"Did I not tell you," said Jesus, "if you will only believe, you shall see the glory of God?"

Now he was not self-moved in saying this, but as high priest for that year he was inspired to say that Jesus was to die for the nation??52 and not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting the scattered children of God.

and not for that nation only, but likewise to reassemble the dispersed children of God into one body.

a great multitude of Jews knowing that Jesus was there, went thither, not for his sake only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

Then Jesus spoke out in a loud voice, "The person who believes in me, does not [only] believe in me, but [also] in Him who sent me [i.e., God].

And I know that Immortal Life lies in keeping his command. Therefore, whatever I say, I say only what the Father has taught me."

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus said to him, he that comes out from bathing has occasion only to wash his feet, the rest of his body being clean: so you are clean, but not every one of you.

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

[Then] Judas (not the betrayer) [Note: This was the son of James, See Luke 6:16. He is also called Thaddaeus, See Matt. 10:3], said to Jesus, "Lord, what has happened [i.e., to your original plans to be seen by everyone when you came. See Luke 21:27], that you will reveal yourself to us apostles [only] and not to the [whole] world?"

his coming will only serve to let the world see that I love the Father and that I am acting as the Father ordered. Rise, let us be going."

Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

However, when the Holy Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you [apostles] into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own authority, but will speak [only] what He hears [from the Father]. And He will tell you about the things that are to come.

and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world now, but only for those whom you have given me, because they are yours --

While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you want Me, let these men go on their way.”

only, one of the soldiers pricked his side with a lance, and out came blood and water in a moment.

Then Simon Peter came after him, and went inside the tomb; he noticed not only that the bandages were lying on the ground

Whosever sins you forgive, they will be forgiven [by God]. And whosever sins you do not forgive, they will not be forgiven [by God]." [Note: Actual forgiveness would result only when people responded, by faith, to the Gospel message. See Acts 2:37-38].

So, that disciple whom Jesus loved [i.e., probably the apostle John] said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer robe around him, (for he [had taken it off and] was wearing only his underclothing) and jumped into the lake.

And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

So the report got out among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; He said only, "If I wish him to wait until I come, what is that to you?"
