'One' in the Bible

“There was a judge in a certain town who didn’t fear God or respect man.

“Two men went up to the temple complex to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

When Jesus heard this, He told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

So He said to them, “I assure you: There is no one who has left a house, wife or brothers, parents or children because of the kingdom of God,

So he said to those standing there, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has 10 minas.’

“‘I tell you, that to everyone who has, more will be given; and from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away.

and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

They will crush you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone on another in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

One day as He was teaching the people in the temple complex and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came up

He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.

And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.

“These things that you see—the days will come when not one stone will be left on another that will not be thrown down!”

But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and whoever leads, like the one serving.

For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn’t it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves.

I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one on Me,

Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one.

While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,

Then one of them struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear.

After a little while, someone else saw him and said, “You’re one of them too!”“Man, I am not!” Peter said.

and said to them, “You have brought me this man as one who subverts the people. But in fact, after examining Him in your presence, I have found no grounds to charge this man with those things you accuse Him of.

and released the one they were asking for, who had been thrown into prison for rebellion and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.

When they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.

The people stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing: “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!”

Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!”

Taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever been placed.

The one named Cleopas answered Him, “Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”

But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.

The Word became fleshand took up residence among us.We observed His glory,the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father,full of grace and truth.

(John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,“This was the One of whom I said,‘The One coming after me has surpassed me,because He existed before me.’”)

No one has ever seen God.The One and Only Son—the One who is at the Father’s side—He has revealed Him.

He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord—just as Isaiah the prophet said.”

He is the One coming after me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.”

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.’

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Him.

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

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!”

This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

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.”

John responded, “No one can receive a single thing unless it’s given to him from heaven.

The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth is earthly and speaks in earthly terms. The One who comes from heaven is above all.

He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

“I am He,” Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

because an angel would go down into the pool from time to time and stir up the water. Then the first one who got in after the water was stirred up recovered from whatever ailment he had].

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,

You don’t have His word living in you, because you don’t believe the One He sent.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“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.

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.

The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate—and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who would not believe and the one who would betray Him.)

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

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

Jesus replied to them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is the Devil!”

He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray Him.

For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.

The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

“I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?

The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Nicodemus—the one who came to Him previously, being one of them—said to them,

[So each one went to his house. >

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center.

When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, Lord,” she answered.“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

You judge by human standards. I judge no one.

I am the One who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple complex. But no one seized Him, because His hour had not come.

“I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the One who sent Me is true, and what I have heard from Him—these things I tell the world.”

The One who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

You’re doing what your father does.”“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”
