'Told' in the Bible

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote about—Jesus from Nazareth, the son of Joseph [according to public record].”

If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?

So when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

“Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done! Can this be the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)?”

Now many Samaritans from that city believed in Him and trusted Him [as Savior] because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”

and they told the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; for [now] we have heard Him for ourselves and know [with confident assurance] that this One is truly the Savior of [all] the world.”

They asked him, “Who is the Man who told you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”

The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe.

And He was saying, “This is the reason why I have told you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him [that is, unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father.”

Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid.”

That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins.”

But as it is, you want to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. This is not the way Abraham acted.

He answered, “I already told you and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again and again? Do you want to become His disciples, too?”

Jesus answered them, “I have told you so, yet you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name testify concerning Me [they are My credentials and the evidence declaring who I am].

So then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.

But some of them went back to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Philip came and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

I know that His commandment is eternal life. So the things I speak, I speak [in accordance with His exact instruction,] just as the Father has told Me.”

Little children, I am with you [only] a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to come.’

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.

“I have told you these things while I am still with you.

But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.

I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does take place, you may believe and have faith [in Me].

I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.

Remember [and continue to remember] that I told you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

“I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away.

I have told you these things [now], so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

“I have told you these things in figurative language (veiled language, proverbs); the hour is now coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you want Me, let these men go on their way.”

Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

Pilate said to Him [scornfully], “What is truth?”And when he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no guilt in Him [no crime, no cause for an accusation].

And they said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She told them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
