'One' in the Bible

But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.

During the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.

Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink.

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, "Truly this one was God's Son!"

the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.'"

He proclaimed, "One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals.

And a voice came from heaven: "You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight."

The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.

"Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!"

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins."

But no one is able to enter a strong man's house and steal his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

But these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred."

They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, "Who then is this? Even the wind and sea obey him!"

He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

They came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind -- the one who had the "Legion" -- and they were afraid.

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

He strictly ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

Others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets from the past."

Now they had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

So they began to discuss with one another about having no bread.

They said, "John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets."

So Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my one dear Son. Listen to him!"

Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more except Jesus.

Then Jesus said to him, "'If you are able?' All things are possible for the one who believes."

But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say anything bad about me.

"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, "You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

They were even more astonished and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel

They said to him, "Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory."

Both those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

They discussed with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

So he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.

He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.

He had one left, his one dear son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours!'

So they brought one, and he said to them, "Whose image is this, and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's."

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

The expert in the law said to him, "That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him.

When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!"

Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!"

Jesus began to say to them, "Watch out that no one misleads you.

You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

The one on the roof must not come down or go inside to take anything out of his house.

The one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them short.

"But as for that day or hour no one knows it -- neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son -- except the Father.

But some who were present indignantly said to one another, "Why this waste of expensive ointment?

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me will betray me."

They were distressed, and one by one said to him, "Surely not I?"

He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the bowl.

Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour?

Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.")

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his ear.

But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's slave girls came by.

When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, "You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean."

During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.

So Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"

And they crucified two outlaws with him, one on his right and one on his left.

The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

The angel came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!"

When the angels left them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, that the Lord has made known to us."

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one shouting in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.

Then some soldiers also asked him, "And as for us -- what should we do?" He told them, "Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay."

John answered them all, "I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming -- I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight."

"Ha! Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God."

They were all amazed and began to say to one another, "What's happening here? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

As the sun was setting, all those who had any relatives sick with various diseases brought them to Jesus. He placed his hands on every one of them and healed them.

He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came to him who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed down with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Then he ordered the man to tell no one, but commanded him, "Go and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Now on one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

He also told them a parable: "No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old garment. If he does, he will have torn the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"

But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus.

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

and sent them to Jesus to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"

When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"

This is the one about whom it is written, 'Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
