'Know' in the Bible

John answered them, "I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,

Nathaniel asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

He came to Jesus at night and told him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."

The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Truly, I tell you emphatically, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony.

You don't know what you're worshiping. We Jews know what we're worshiping, because salvation comes from the Jews.

The woman told him, "I know that the Anointed One is coming, who is being called "the Messiah'. When that person comes, he will explain everything."

But he told them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away from the crowd in that place.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.

I know that you do not have the love of God in you.

They kept saying, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph, isn't it, whose father and mother we know? So how can he say, "I have come down from heaven'?"

If anyone wants to do his will, he'll know whether this teaching is from God or whether I'm speaking on my own.

And look, he is speaking in public, and they are not saying anything to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?

We know where this man comes from. But when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

At this point Jesus, still teaching in the Temple, shouted, "So you know me and know where I've come from? I haven't come on my own accord. But the one who sent me is true, and he's the one you don't know.

I know him because I've come from him, and he sent me."

But this mob that does not know the Law they're under a curse!"

Jesus answered them, "Even though I'm testifying about myself, my testimony is valid because I know where I've come from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I come from or where I'm going.

Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you had known me, you would've known my Father, too." He spoke these words in the treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

"I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me because you've not received what I've told you.

Then the Jewish leaders told him, "Now we really know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, "If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'

You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and keep his word.

They asked him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I don't know!"

His parents replied, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

But we don't know how it is that he now sees, and we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age and can speak for himself."

The Jewish leaders summoned the man who had been blind a second time and told him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."

But he responded, "I don't know whether he is a sinner or not. The one thing I do know is that I used to be blind and now I can see!"

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from."

The man answered them, "This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he healed my eyes.

We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.

I'm the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.

My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.

But if I'm doing them, even though you don't believe me, believe the actions, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, he will give it to you."

Martha told him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

Then Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, "You don't know anything!

Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."

I'm not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: "The one who ate bread with me has turned against me.'

This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

You know where I am going, and you know the way."

Thomas asked him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him and have seen him."

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

At that time, you'll know that I am in my Father, that you are in me, and that I am in you.

But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place."

I don't call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. But I've called you friends, because I've made known to you everything that I've heard from my Father.

They will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

They kept saying, "What is this "in a little while' that he keeps talking about? We don't know what he means."

Now we know that you know everything and don't need to have anyone ask you any questions. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God."

And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent Jesus the Messiah.

because the words that you gave me I passed on to them. They have received them and know for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said."

Pilate went outside again and told the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

They asked her, "Lady, why are you crying?" She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have put him."

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" Peter told him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Then he asked him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter told him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."

Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep." He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was deeply hurt that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So he told him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them down. We know that his testimony is true.
