'One' in the Bible

But the gardener replied, "Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

Then Jesus taught in one town and village after another as he made his way to Jerusalem.

Look! Your house is left vacant to you. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

One Sabbath, Jesus went to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal. The guests were watching Jesus closely.

Now one of those eating with him heard this and told him, "How blessed is the person who will eat in the kingdom of God!"

Every single one of them began asking to be excused. The first told him, "I bought a field, and I need to go out and inspect it. Please excuse me.'

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. He will first sit down and estimate the cost to see whether he has enough money to finish it, won't he?

"Or suppose a king is going to war against another king. He will first sit down and consider whether with 10,000 men he can fight the one coming against him with 20,000 men, won't he?

"Suppose one of you has 100 sheep and loses one of them. He leaves the 99 in the wilderness and looks for the one that is lost until he finds it, doesn't he?

In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don't need to repent."

"Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them. She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn't she?

In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."

The younger one told his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate.' So the father divided his property between them.

So he went out to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

No one would give him anything, even though he would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating.

I don't deserve to be called your son anymore. Treat me like one of your hired men."'

So he called to one of the servants and asked what was happening.

"No servant can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and wealth!"

However, it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be dropped.

"One day, the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

One day, Jesus was traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee on the way to Jerusalem.

But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.

Then Jesus told the disciples, "The time will come during which you will long to see one of these days when the Son of Man is with you, but you will not see it.

Because just as lightning flashes and shines from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his time.

I tell you, two will be seated on the same couch that night. The one will be taken, and the other will be left behind.

Two women will be grinding grain together. The one will be taken, and the other will be left behind."

"Two men went up to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

I tell you, this man, rather than the other one, went down to his home justified, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted."

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

When Jesus heard this, he told him, "You still need to do one thing. Sell everything you have and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, there is no one who has left his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of the kingdom of God

a man named Zacchaeus appeared. He was a leading tax collector, and a rich one at that!

"Go into the village ahead of you," he said. "As you enter, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it along.

They will level you to the ground you and those who live within your city limits. They will not leave one stone on another within your walls, because you didn't recognize the time when you were visited."

One day, while Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple and telling them the good news, the high priests and the scribes came with the elders

Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died childless.

"As for these things that you see, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another that won't be knocked down."

Then they began to discuss among themselves which one of them was going to do this.

Now an argument sprang up among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

But you are not to do so. On the contrary, the greatest among you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads should become like the one who serves.

Because who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? It is the one at the table, isn't it? But I'm among you as one who serves.

Then he told them, "But now whoever has a wallet must take it along, and his traveling bag, too. And the one who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them, and he came close to Jesus to kiss him.

Then one of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.

A little later, a man looked at him and said, "You are one of them, too." But Peter said, "Mister, I am not!"

They blindfolded him and asked him over and over again, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"

and told them, "You brought this man to me as one who turns the people against the government. And here in your presence I have examined him and have found him "Not Guilty' of the charges you make against him.

When they reached the place called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

Meanwhile, the people stood looking on. The leaders were mocking him by saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Messiah of God, the chosen one!"

Now one of the criminals hanging there kept insulting him, "You are the Messiah, aren't you? Save yourself"and us!"

Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb cut in the rock, in which no one had yet been laid.

The one whose name was Cleopas answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn't know what happened there in the past few days?"

But we kept hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel. What is more, this is now the third day since these things occurred.

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."
