'Written' in the Bible

"In Bethlehem of Judea," they said, "for it is written this way by the prophet:

But he answered, "It is written, 'Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you' and 'with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

He said to them, "Elijah does indeed come first, and restores all things. And why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?

But I tell you that Elijah has certainly come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

Then he began to teach them and said, "Is it not written: 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have turned it into a den of robbers!"

For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born."

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one shouting in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.

Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man does not live by bread alone.'"

Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without reason.'

Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."

Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek.

Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

And will not the physically uncircumcised man who keeps the law judge you who, despite the written code and circumcision, transgress the law?

but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit and not by the written code. This person's praise is not from people but from God.

Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: "so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged."

just as it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one,

just as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble and a rock that will make them fall, yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."

And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news."

as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day."

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion; he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God."

Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play."

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

It is written in the law: "By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me," says the Lord.

So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living person"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone,

revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.

Just as it is written, "He has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever."

For all who rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law."
