'Saying' in the Bible

saying, "Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."

saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead."

But John tried to prevent him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?"

Then he began to teach them by saying:

So then, don't worry saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'

When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching,

And a leper approached, and bowed low before him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

He stretched out his hand and touched him saying, "I am willing. Be clean!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

So they came and woke him up saying, "Lord, save us! We are about to die!"

Go and learn what this saying means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

As he was saying these things, a ruler came, bowed low before him, and said, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live."

For she kept saying to herself, "If only I touch his cloak, I will be healed."

Then he touched their eyes saying, "Let it be done for you according to your faith."

He told them many things in parables, saying: "Listen! A sower went out to sow.

Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."

When evening arrived, his disciples came to him saying, "This is an isolated place and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Then the disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that when the Pharisees heard this saying they were offended?"

So they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "It is because we brought no bread."

At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.'

After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe me!'

saying, 'These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.'

As he entered Jerusalem the whole city was thrown into an uproar, saying, "Who is this?"

And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"

When the disciples saw it they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree wither so quickly?"

Where did John's baptism come from? From heaven or from people?" They discussed this among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:

Again he sent other slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready. My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet."'

They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You do not court anyone's favor because you show no partiality.

He said to them, "How then does David by the Spirit call him 'Lord,' saying,

By saying this you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.

For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will mislead many.

Later, the other virgins came too, saying, 'Lord, lord! Let us in!'

The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, 'Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he told his disciples,

And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,

So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.

(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him!")

saying, "Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who hit you?"

saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!"

and saying, "You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are God's Son, come down from the cross!"

But Jesus met them, saying, "Greetings!" They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.
