'Know' in the Bible

John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water. In your midst stands [one] whom you do not know--

And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water."

And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever that one comes, he will proclaim all [things] to us."

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

And they were saying to the woman, "No longer because of {what you said} do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!"

But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn [while] a crowd was in the place.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.

And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?

Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes--no one knows where he is from!"

Then Jesus cried out in the temple [courts], teaching and saying, "You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

I know him, because I am from him and he sent me."

But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!"

I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.

The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!"

"I am the good shepherd, and I know my [own], and my [own] know me,

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know [him]. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before [it hated] you.

But they will do all these [things] to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received [them] and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.

I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these [people] know what I said."

Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs!"

He said to him again a second time, "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Shepherd my sheep!"

He said to him a third [time], "Simon [son] of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed because he said to him a third [time], "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep!
