'Told' in the Bible

Hoping in spite of hopeless circumstances, he believed that he would become "the father of many nations," just as he had been told: "This is how many descendants you will have."

and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,

not from works but from the One who calls—she was told: The older will serve the younger.

And it will be in the place where they were told,you are not My people,there they will be called sons of the living God.

So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.

Rather, as it is written, "Those who were never told about him will see, and those who have never heard will understand."
