'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.'"

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.'

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.

The next day, Jesus decided to go away to Galilee, where he found Philip and told him, "Follow me."

Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote 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 told him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that."

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 more wine."

His mother told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Jesus told the servants, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them up 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 serves the best wine first, and the cheap kind when people are drunk. But you have kept the best wine until now!"

Then he told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house 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."

Don't be astonished that I told you, "All of you must be born from above.'

If I have told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

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!"

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."

He told her, "Go and call your husband, 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, dear lady, the hour is coming when you Samaritans 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."

Then the woman left her water jar and went back to town. She told people,

"Come, see a man who told me everything I've ever done! Could he possibly be the Messiah?"

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

Jesus told them, "My food is doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work.

Now many of the Samaritans of that town believed in Jesus because the woman had testified, "He told me everything I've ever done."

Jesus told him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe."

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

Jesus told him, "Go home. Your son will live." The man believed what Jesus told him and started back home.

While he was on his way, his servants met him and told him that his child was alive.

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."

Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus had told him, "Your son will live." So he himself believed, along with his whole family.

Jesus told him, "Stand up, 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.

But he answered them, "The man who made me well told me, "Pick up your mat and walk.'"

They asked him, "Who is the man who told you, "Pick it up and walk'?"

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 went off and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

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 completely satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, "Collect the pieces that are left over 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."

Jesus told them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.

I told you that you have seen me, yet you don't 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.

So he said, "That's why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted 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 come, but your time is always here.

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."

He told them, "You are from below, I'm from above. You are of this world, but I'm not of this world.

That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM, you'll die in your sins."

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.

Jesus told them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did. But now you're trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would'nt have done that.

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!"

and told him, "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "Sent One"). So he went off, washed, and came back seeing.

He said, "The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' So off I went and washed, and I received my sight."

So the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had gained his sight. He told them, "He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see."

The Jewish leaders summoned the man who had been blind a second time and told him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."

He answered them, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples, too, do you?"

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

Jesus told them, "If you were blind, you would not have any sin. But now that you insist, "We see,' your sin still exists."

Jesus answered them, "I have told you, but you don't believe it. The actions that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf,

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."

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

These were the things he said. Then after this, he told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm leaving to wake him up."

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

Then Jesus 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.

Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."

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.

"Yes, Lord," she told him. "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world."

When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you!"

As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and told him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

He asked, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, "Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days."

Jesus told her, "I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?"

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."
