'Saying' in the Bible

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, "Please give me a drink,' you would have been the one to ask him, and he would have given you living water."

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."

In this respect the saying is true: "One person sows, and another person harvests.'

I myself do not accept human testimony, but I am saying these things so that you may be saved.

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they kept saying, "Truly this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

They kept saying, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, "I have come down from heaven'?"

After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began saying, "This is the man they are trying to kill, isn't it?

And look, he is speaking in public, and they are not saying anything to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?

However, many in the crowd believed in him. They kept saying, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?"

When they heard these words, some in the crowd were saying, "This really is the Prophet,"

while others were saying, "This is the Messiah!"

But some were saying, "The Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does he? Doesn't the Scripture say that the Messiah is from David's family and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

While he was saying these things, many believed in him.

The Jewish leaders replied to him, "Surely we're right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon, aren't we?"

After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes

Some were saying, "It's him," while others were saying, "No, but it's someone like him." But he himself kept saying, "It's me!"

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

Jesus used this illustration with them, but they didn't understand what he was saying to them.

Once again there was a division among the Jews because of what Jesus had been saying.

Many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why bother listening to him?"

Others were saying, "These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?"

Many people came to him and kept saying, "John never performed a sign, but everything that John said about this man is true!"

After saying this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

They kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Surely he won't come to the festival, will he?"

Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!" The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, one of you is going to betray me!"

They kept saying, "What is this "in a little while' that he keeps talking about? We don't know what he means."

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"

They kept coming up to him and saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!" Then they began to slap him on the face.

After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord, the disciples were overjoyed.

Now he said this to show by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, Jesus told him, "Keep following me."
