'Saying' in the Bible

John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,

And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.

The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Many therefore of his disciples, when the heard this , said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?

The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.

Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven,'saying , I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.

And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.)

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him , crucify him ! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.

When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
