'Says' in the Bible

let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'"

So the Jewish leaders began to say, "Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

So they kept on repeating, "What is the meaning of what he says, 'In a little while'? We do not understand what he is talking about."

So the soldiers said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it." This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice." So the soldiers did these things.

And again another scripture says, "They will look on the one whom they have pierced."
