'One' in the Bible

All things were created through Him,and apart from Him not one thing was createdthat has been created.

The Word became fleshand took up residence among us.We observed His glory,the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father,full of grace and truth.

(John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,“This was the One of whom I said,‘The One coming after me has surpassed me,because He existed before me.’”)

No one has ever seen God.The One and Only Son—the One who is at the Father’s side—He has revealed Him.

He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord—just as Isaiah the prophet said.”

He is the One coming after me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.”

This is the One I told you about: ‘After me comes a man who has surpassed me, because He existed before me.’

I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Him.

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means “Anointed One”),

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law (and so did the prophets): Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!”

This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

So they came to John and told him, “Rabbi, the One you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing—and everyone is flocking to Him.”

John responded, “No one can receive a single thing unless it’s given to him from heaven.

The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth is earthly and speaks in earthly terms. The One who comes from heaven is above all.

He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

The one who has accepted His testimony has affirmed that God is true.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

“I am He,” Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

because an angel would go down into the pool from time to time and stir up the water. Then the first one who got in after the water was stirred up recovered from whatever ailment he had].

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.

The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,

You don’t have His word living in you, because you don’t believe the One He sent.

How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. They also knew that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.

The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate—and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who would not believe and the one who would betray Him.)

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!”

Jesus replied to them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is the Devil!”

He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray Him.

For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.

The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

“I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?

The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Nicodemus—the one who came to Him previously, being one of them—said to them,

[So each one went to his house. >

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center.

When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, Lord,” she answered.“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

You judge by human standards. I judge no one.

I am the One who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple complex. But no one seized Him, because His hour had not come.

“I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the One who sent Me is true, and what I have heard from Him—these things I tell the world.”

The One who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

You’re doing what your father does.”“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

I do not seek My glory; the One who seeks it also judges.

“If I glorify Myself,” Jesus answered, “My glory is nothing. My Father—you say about Him, ‘He is our God’—He is the One who glorifies Me.

We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.

Some said, “He’s the one.” “No,” others were saying, “but he looks like him.”He kept saying, “I’m the one!”

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

They asked them, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

He answered, “Whether or not He’s a sinner, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I can see!”

Throughout history no one has ever heard of someone opening the eyes of a person born blind.

Jesus answered, “You have seen Him; in fact, He is the One speaking with you.”

The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd.

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.”

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

The Father and I are one.”

do you say, ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?

Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, and it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

So the sisters sent a message to Him: “Lord, the one You love is sick.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live.

One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

You’re not considering that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish.”

They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple complex: “What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will He?”

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.

So they gave a dinner for Him there; Martha was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was about to betray Him), said,

Then a large crowd of the Jews learned He was there. They came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus the one He had raised from the dead.

Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look—the world has gone after Him!”

The one who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

Then Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in Me believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me.
