'Except' in the Bible

“Why does this man talk that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins [remove guilt, nullify sin’s penalty, and assign righteousness] except God alone?”

For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been kept secret, but that it would come to light [that is, things are hidden only temporarily, until the appropriate time comes for them to be known].

And He allowed no one to go with Him [as witnesses], except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor (respect) except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.”

And He could not do a miracle there at all [because of their unbelief] except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

He told them to take nothing for the journey except a mere walking stick—no bread, no [traveler’s] bag, no money in their belts—

Suddenly they looked around and no longer saw anyone with them, except Jesus alone.

Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is [essentially] good [by nature] except God alone.
