'Told' in the Bible

When Joseph awoke from sleep he did what the angel of the Lord told him. He took his wife,

“In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet:

and sent them to Bethlehem. He told them, "As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him."

But when John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he told them, "You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written, "God will put his angels in charge of you,' and, "With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.'"

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

He told Jesus, "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!"

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written:Worship the Lord your God,and serve only Him.”

“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

"You have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You are not to commit murder,' and, "Whoever murders will be subject to punishment.'

"Again, you have heard that it was told those who lived long ago, "You must not swear an oath falsely,' but, "You must fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'

Then Jesus told him, “See that you don’t tell anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed, as a testimony to them.”

“I will come and heal him,” He told him.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and told those who were following him, "I tell all of you with certainty, not even in Israel have I found this kind of faith!

Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.” And his servant was cured that very moment.

Just then, a scribe came up and told him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus told him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

Then another of his disciples told him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

Then some of the scribes told themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He told the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and told him, "Follow me." So he got up and followed him.

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

When he had gone into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked them, "Do you believe I can do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord!"

And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly told them, "See to it that nobody knows about this."

Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few.

the blind see, the lame walk, those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news.

When the Pharisees saw this, they told him, "Look! Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"

But he told them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Knowing their thoughts, He told them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees told Jesus, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Then He told them many things in parables, saying: “Consider the sower who went out to sow.

“‘An enemy did this!’ he told them.“‘So, do you want us to go and gather them up?’ the slaves asked him.

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through all of it.”

Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and He would not speak anything to them without a parable,

“Have you understood all these things?”“Yes,” they told Him.

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

But Jesus told them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown and in his own home." He did not perform many miracles there because of their unbelief.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

because John had repeatedly told him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

“They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”

They told him, "We don't have anything here except five loaves of bread and two fish."

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

"Have courage!" Jesus immediately told them. "It's me. Stop being afraid!"

Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has.

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

“From strangers,” he said.“Then the sons are free,” Jesus told him.

So Jesus told him, "In that case, the subjects are exempt. However, so that we don't offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Take it and give it to them for me and you."

Jesus told him, "I tell you, not just seven times, but 77 times!

So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Then his master sent for him and told him, "You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me.

He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning.

But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given to.

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”

Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

Then Jesus told his disciples, "I tell all of you with certainty, it will be hard for a rich person to get into the kingdom from heaven.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel.

He told them, "You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

“‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him.“‘You also go to my vineyard,’ he told them.

When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’

"But he told one of them, "Friend, I'm not treating you unfairly. You did agree with me for a denarius, didn't you?

When Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and told them as they were walking along,

He asked her, "What do you want?" She told him, "Promise that in your kingdom these two sons of mine will sit on your right and on your left."

Jesus replied, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from?" They told him, "We can."

He told them, “You will indeed drink My cup. But to sit at My right and left is not Mine to give; instead, it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

They told him, "Lord, we want to be able to see!"

told them, "Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied up and a colt with it. Untie them, and bring them to me.

He told them, "It is written, "My house is to be called a house of prayer,' but you are turning it into a hideout for bandits!"

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?”“Yes,” Jesus told them. “Have you never read:You have prepared praisefrom the mouths of children and nursing infants?”

Jesus told them, "Yes! Haven't you ever read, "From the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have created praise'?" Then he left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.

Seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He told it, "May fruit never come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree dried up.

Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don't doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

So they told Jesus, "We don't know." He in turn told them, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

Then the father went to the other son and told him the same thing. He replied, "I will, sir,' but he didn't go.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, tax collectors and prostitutes will get into God's kingdom ahead of you! John came to you living a righteous life, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. But even when you saw that, you didn't change your minds at last and believe him."

But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him and get his inheritance!'

“He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him, “and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”

“Then he told his slaves, ‘The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

They told him, "Caesar's." So he told them, "Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Jesus told him, ""You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”“David’s,” they told Him.
