'One' in the Bible

the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.'"

He proclaimed, "One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals.

And a voice came from heaven: "You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight."

The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.

"Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!"

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed. Instead new wine is poured into new wineskins."

But no one is able to enter a strong man's house and steal his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

But these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred."

They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, "Who then is this? Even the wind and sea obey him!"

He lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

They came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind -- the one who had the "Legion" -- and they were afraid.

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

He strictly ordered that no one should know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

Others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets from the past."

Now they had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

So they began to discuss with one another about having no bread.

They said, "John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets."

So Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my one dear Son. Listen to him!"

Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more except Jesus.

Then Jesus said to him, "'If you are able?' All things are possible for the one who believes."

But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

But Jesus said, "Do not stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say anything bad about me.

"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, "You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

They were even more astonished and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?"

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel

They said to him, "Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory."

Both those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

They discussed with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

So he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.

He sent another, and that one they killed. This happened to many others, some of whom were beaten, others killed.

He had one left, his one dear son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours!'

So they brought one, and he said to them, "Whose image is this, and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's."

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"

Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

The expert in the law said to him, "That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him.

When Jesus saw that he had answered thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, "Teacher, look at these tremendous stones and buildings!"

Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!"

Jesus began to say to them, "Watch out that no one misleads you.

You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

The one on the roof must not come down or go inside to take anything out of his house.

The one in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.

And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them short.

"But as for that day or hour no one knows it -- neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son -- except the Father.

But some who were present indignantly said to one another, "Why this waste of expensive ointment?

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me will betray me."

They were distressed, and one by one said to him, "Surely not I?"

He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the bowl.

Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour?

Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.")

One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest's slave, cutting off his ear.

But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

Now while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest's slave girls came by.

When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of them."

But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, "You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean."

During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.

So Pilate spoke to them again, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"

And they crucified two outlaws with him, one on his right and one on his left.

The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.
