'Takes' in the Bible

John testified [repeatedly] about Him and has cried out [testifying officially for the record, with validity and relevance], “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I and has priority over me, for He existed before me.’”

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;

The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.

Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.”

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day.

He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me.

This is the Bread which came down out of heaven. It is not like [the manna that] our fathers ate and they [eventually] died; the one who eats this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will live forever.”

The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”

I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the one who receives and welcomes whomever I send receives Me; and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me [in that same way].”

As to every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and as to every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.
