this very man went to Pilate, and begg'd the body of Jesus.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

upon which they were frightned, and bowed themselves to the very ground: but the men said to them, why do you look among the dead for one that is alive?

And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem.

And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,

Was it not needful for the Christ, these very things, to suffer, and to enter into his glory?

And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst

See my hands and my feet--it is my very self. Feel me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have."

While they were still unable to believe it all for very joy, and were wondering if it were true, Jesus said to them: "Have you anything here to eat?"

THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.

He was with God in the very beginning:

I did not know Him myself, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, is the One who is to baptize in the Holy Spirit.'

Jesus told the servants, "Fill the water jars with water." So they filled them up to the very top.

"In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

The one who has the bride is the groom; but the best man, who stands up with him and listens to him [take his vows], is very happy when he hears him speak. So, [now] my joy is complete [i.e. over hearing about Jesus' ministry].

but the time is coming, nay, is very nigh, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth: for they are the worshippers which he requires.

Jesus said to her, "I, the very one who is talking to you, am He!"

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Then the father realized that it was at that very hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives”; and he and his entire household believed and confidently trusted [in Him as Savior].

But Jesus replied: "My Father works to this very hour, and I work also."

And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a Son of Man [sinless humanity, qualifying Him to sit in judgment over mankind].

But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me;

And, though it is those very Scriptures that bear testimony to me, you refuse to come to me to have life.

Do not think that I [am the One who] will accuse you before the Father. There [already] is one who accuses you: Moses, [the very one] in whom you have placed your hope [for salvation].

this is that bread which came down from heaven: very different from that manna, which your fathers did eat but died nevertheless: he that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever.

And yet there are some of you who do not believe" (for Jesus knew from the very first who the unbelieving were, and who was to betray him;

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me.

I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.”

{Joh 7:538:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.} [And they went each to his house;

Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them.

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

“Who are You?” they questioned.

“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my words, then are ye my very disciples:

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence] and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who] sent Me.

You belong to your father the devil, and you are [always] wanting to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the [very] beginning [Note: This is probably a reference to Satan's influence on Adam, Eve and Cain in the Garden of Eden] and does not stand for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he only speaks what is part of his nature, because he is a liar and the father of [all] liars.

Some said, “It is he.” Still others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man.”

This very man that had been blind, was at length brought to the Pharisees.

The Jews then did not believe it of him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight,

his parents answered, that this is our son, and that he was born blind: we are very certain.

whether he be so or not, said he, I don't know: one thing I very well know, that once I was blind, and now I see.

"Well," the man replied, "this is very strange; you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has given me my sight!

they answered, you were a vicious fellow from your very birth, and do you pretend to preach to us? and then they excommunicated him.

Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person.

"I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep.

even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My [very own] life [sacrificing it] for the benefit of the sheep.

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].

The disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

verily, verily I say unto you, when a corn of wheat is thrown into the ground, there it lies a single grain unless it dies: but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.

“Now My soul is troubled and deeply distressed; what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour [of trial and agony]’? But it is for this [very] purpose that I have come to this hour [this time and place].

Whoever rejects Me and refuses to accept My teachings, has one who judges him; the very word that I spoke will judge and condemn him on the last day.

Just before the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to the very end.

One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus kept loving, had been sitting very close to him.

And if God is [so] glorified through Him [now], God will [also] glorify the Son in Himself very soon. [Note: Possibly this was a reference to Jesus returning to the Father's presence].

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

I will not speak with you very much anymore because the ruler of the world [i.e., Satan] is coming, and he has no control over me.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.

When you are very fruitful and show yourselves to be disciples of mine, my Father is honored.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you.

and you too are witnesses, for you have been with me from the very beginning.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be very sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

This is life eternal: that they might know thee, that only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.

“I have manifested Your name [and revealed Your very self, Your real self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept and obeyed Your word.

O righteous father, the very world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

and I have made Your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them [overwhelming their heart], and I [may be] in them.”

Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.

Again Peter denied it. And at that very moment the cock crowed.

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor's residence. (Now it was very early morning.) They did not go into the governor's residence so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.

So, Pilate said to Him, "Are you a king, then?" Jesus answered, "You are [correct in] calling me a 'king.' This was the [very] purpose for which I was born and came into the world, that I should testify about the truth. Every person who wants [to know and obey] the truth listens to me."

He then said to his disciple, "Look, here is your mother!" From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.

Since it was the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], in order to prevent the bodies from hanging on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high holy day) the Jews asked Pilate to have their legs broken [to hasten death] and the bodies taken away.

On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.

Now very early in the morning Jesus was there by the edge of the sea (though the disciples were not conscious that it was Jesus).

Peter turned and saw following them the disciple who was very dear to Jesus, who at the supper leaned back on Jesus' breast and said, "Master, who is it that is going to betray you?"

The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,

But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”

And said: "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This very Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the very way in which you have seen him go into the heavens."

"You people of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus from Nazareth was a man whom God [demonstrated] His approval of by powerful deeds, miracles and [supernatural] signs which He accomplished through Jesus in your very presence --- and you all know this!

After he was arrested according to the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified this very man and killed him using the hands of lawless men.

My heart is glad, my tongue exults, my very flesh will rest in hope,

You have made known to me what life is all about. You will make me completely happy by your very presence.'

Brothers, I would like to speak very plainly about the patriarch David [Note: A patriarch was the ruling father of the family]. He died and was buried and his grave can be seen today.

at which he look'd very attentively, expecting to receive something of them.

and when they recognized this was the very man who used to sit and beg at the Gate Beautiful, they were lost in awe and amazement at what had happened to him.

But you killed the Prince (Author, Originator, Source) of life, whom God raised [bodily] from the dead. To this [fact] we are witnesses [for we have seen the risen Christ].

And on the basis of faith in Jesus' name, his very name has made this man -- whom you see and know -- strong. The faith that is through Jesus has given him this complete health in the presence of you all.
