'Myself' in the Bible

Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!

See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

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.

If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy.

And the chief captain said, I got Roman rights for myself at a great price. And Paul said, But I had them by birth.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

For I have a desire to take on myself the curse for my brothers, my family in the flesh:

And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.

If I have to take credit to myself, I will do so in the things in which I am feeble.

As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.

For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.

But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

See the size of the handwriting which I myself have made use of in writing to you.

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:

But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.

I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:
