'Says' in the Bible

So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.

The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

And he who saw it has given witness (and his witness is true; he is certain that what he says is true) so that you may have belief.

And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.

And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,

Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

Says the Lord, who has made these things clear from the earliest times.

And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?

But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.

And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.

God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:

Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people.

And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him.

(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.

But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:

He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.

He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.

Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.

When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.

By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?

I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.

To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living:

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos say: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.

And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass:

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:
