'Told' in the Bible

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.’

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

The next day He decided to leave for Galilee. Jesus found Philip and told him, “Follow Me!”

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!”

Jesus responded to him, “Do you believe only because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”

When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother told Him, “They don’t have any wine.”

“Do whatever He tells you,” His mother told the servants.

“Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim.

and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people have drunk freely, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

He told those who were selling doves, “Get these things out of here! Stop turning My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.

If I have told you about things that happen on earth and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about things of heaven?

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.”

“Go call your husband,” He told her, “and come back here.”

Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

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

Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men,

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them.

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”

“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed.

The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.

“Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk!”

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

“Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” they asked.

When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”

“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.

But as I told you, you’ve seen Me, and yet you do not believe.

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

Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.

“You are from below,” He told them, “I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

“Who are You?” they questioned.“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

“Go,” He told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.

He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed I received my sight.”

So again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight.“He put mud on my eyes,” he told them. “I washed and I can see.”

So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner!”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

“This is an amazing thing,” the man told them. “You don’t know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see’—your sin remains.

“Rabbi,” the disciples told Him, “just now the Jews tried to stone You, and You’re going there again?”

He said this, and then He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m on My way to wake him up.”

So Jesus then told them plainly, “Lazarus has died.

“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

“Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet and told Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died!”

“Where have you put him?” He asked.“Lord,” they told Him, “come and see.”

“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, “Lord, he’s already decaying. It’s been four days.”

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

I know that His command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

“One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

None of those reclining at the table knew why He told him this.

“Children, I am with you a little while longer. You will look for Me, and just as I told the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I tell you.

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.

I have told you now before it happens so that when it does happen you may believe.

“I have told you these things to keep you from stumbling.

But I have told you these things so that when their time comes you may remember I told them to you. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.“I am He,” Jesus told them.Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.

When He told them, “I am He,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

“I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”

Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”

So Pilate told them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your law.”“It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death,” the Jews declared.

Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?”

“What is truth?” said Pilate.After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging Him.

It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.”

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.

“Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord.

When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”“Feed My lambs,” He told him.

A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”“Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”“Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.

He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, “Follow Me!”
