'One' in the Bible

John told the truth about him when he cried out, "This is the person about whom I said, "The one who comes after me ranks higher than me, because he existed before me.'"

We have all received one gracious gift after another from his abundance,

No one has ever seen God. The unique God, who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.

the one who is coming after me, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie."

This is the one about whom I said, "After me comes a man who ranks above me, because he existed before me.'

I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, "The person on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, "We have found the Anointed One!" (which is translated "Messiah").

Now standing there were six stone water jars used for the Jewish rites of purification, each one holding from two to three measures.

He came to Jesus at night and told him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

"No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

so they went to John and told him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified look, he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!"

John replied, "No one can receive anything unless it has been given to them from heaven.

The one who comes from above is superior to everything. The one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to everything.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony.

The one whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit in limited measure to him.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, "Please give me a drink,' you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water."

The woman told him, "I know that the Anointed One is coming, who is being called "the Messiah'. When that person comes, he will explain everything."

"I am he," Jesus replied, "the one who is speaking to you."

At this point his disciples arrived, and they were astonished that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, "What do you want from her?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

So the disciples began to say to one another, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"

Jesus told them, "My food is doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work.

The one who harvests is already receiving his wages and gathering a crop for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who harvests may rejoice together.

In this respect the saying is true: "One person sows, and another person harvests.'

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, "The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon."

One particular man was there who had been ill for 38 years.

But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away from the crowd in that place.

The Father judges no one, but has given all authority to judge to the Son,

"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whoever hears what I say and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged, but has passed from death to life.

I can do nothing on my own accord. I judge according to what I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me."

nor do you have his word at work in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he sent.

Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope,

One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea noticed that only one boat had been there, and no other, and that Jesus had not gotten into that boat with his disciples. Instead, his disciples had gone away by themselves.

Jesus answered them, "This is God's work: to believe in the one whom he has sent."

The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

Everything the Father gives me will come to me, and I'll never turn away the one who comes to me.

I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything that he has given me, but should raise it to life on the last day.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day.

Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who comes from God. This one has seen the Father.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me has eternal life.

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind that your ancestors ate. They died, but the one who eats this bread will live forever."

But there are some among you who don't believe..." - because Jesus knew from the beginning those who weren't believing, as well as the one who would betray him.

So he said, "That's why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."

Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God."

Jesus answered them, "I chose you, the Twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil."

Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

Nevertheless, no one would speak openly about him because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is genuine, and there's nothing false in him.

Jesus answered them, "I performed one action, and all of you are astonished.

We know where this man comes from. But when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

Then the Jewish leaders tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

Then Jesus said, "I'll be with you only a little while longer, and then I'm going back to the one who sent me.

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."

Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

When they heard this, they went away one by one, beginning with the oldest, and he was left alone with the woman standing there.

"No one, sir," she replied. Then Jesus said, "I don't condemn you, either. Go home, and from now on don't sin anymore."

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Yet even if I should judge, my judgment would be valid, because it is not I alone who judges, but I and the one who sent me.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

Moreover, the one who sent me is with me. He has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him."

You are doing your father's actions." They told him, "We're not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself."

The one who belongs to God listens to the words of God. The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God."

I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it, and he is the Judge.

I must do the work of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is approaching, when no one can work.

and told him, "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "Sent One"). So he went off, washed, and came back seeing.

and asked them, "Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How does he now see?"

But he responded, "I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind and now I can see!"

The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they'll listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.

No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."

I give them eternal life, they'll never be lost, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

What my Father has given me is more important than anything, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.

I and the Father are one."

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was the one who was ill.

So the sisters sent word to Jesus and told him, "Lord, the one whom you love is ill."

"Yes, Lord," she told him. "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world."

But some of them said, "Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?"

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!

You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed."

and not only for the nation, but that he would also gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, asked,

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

Then Jesus said loudly, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me only, but also in the one who sent me.

The one who sees me sees the one who sent me.

The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,
