'Need' in the Bible

“Who are you, then?” they asked. “We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself?”

and because He did not need anyone to testify about man; for He Himself knew what was in man.

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

But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ—the Anointed); when that One comes, He will tell us everything [we need to know].”

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.

Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

If anyone serves Me, he must [continue to faithfully] follow Me [without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]; and wherever I am [in heaven’s glory], there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you.

At that time, you will make your requests in my name, so that I will have no need to ask the Father on your behalf,

Now we know that You know everything and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God.”
