'Told' 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.'"

This is the One I told you about: ‘After me comes a man who has surpassed me, because He existed before me.’

I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

He told them, "Come and see!" So they went and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means “Anointed One”),

The next day He decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip and told him, “Follow Me!”

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

Nathaniel asked him, "From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?" Philip told him, "Come and see!"

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

Then he told him, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going up and coming down to the Son of Man."

When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They don’t have any wine.”

“Do whatever He tells you,” His mother told the servants.

“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

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."

Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

So they came to John and told him, “Rabbi, the One you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing—and everyone is flocking to Him.”

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus told her, "Please give me a drink,"

The woman told him, "Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living water?

The woman told him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I won't get thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."

“Go call your husband,” He told her, “and come back here.”

Jesus told her, "You are quite right in saying, "I don't have a husband,' because you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."

The woman told him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet!

Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

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 told her, “the One speaking to you.”

Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men,

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

But he told them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”

The official told him, "Sir, please come down before my little boy dies."

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

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."

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk!”

So the Jewish leaders told the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat.

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

“Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” they asked.

Later on, Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Look! You have become well. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

So he told them, "My Father is working until now, and I too am working."

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the Son can do nothing on his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing, What the Father does, the Son does likewise.

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

When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”

But he told them, "It is I. Stop being afraid!"

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

Then they told him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.

But as I told you, you’ve seen Me, and yet you do not believe.

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

So his brothers told him, "You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the actions that you're doing,

Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.

they told him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery.

When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and told them, "Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

The Pharisees told him, "You're testifying about yourself. Your testimony isn't valid."

Later on, he told them again, "I'm going away, and you'll look for me, but you will die in your sin. You cannot come where I'm going."

“You are from below,” He told them, “I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

“Who are You?” they questioned.“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

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."

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

So Jesus told those Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are really my disciples.

"I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me because you've not received what I've told you.

“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

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

Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you would've loved me, because I came from God and am here. I haven't come on my own accord, but he sent me.

Then the Jewish leaders told him, "Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, "If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, before there was an Abraham, I AM!"

“Go,” He told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.

He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed I received my sight.”

So again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight.“He put mud on my eyes,” he told them. “I washed and I can see.”

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!

Jesus told him, "You have seen him. He is the person who is talking with you."

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see’—your sin remains.

Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you.

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

After this, he told the disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

He said this, and then He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m on My way to wake him up.”

So the disciples told him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well."

So Jesus then told them plainly, “Lazarus has died.

Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, told his fellow disciples, "Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!"

Martha told Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

Martha told him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.
