'One' in the Bible

All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.

Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory -- the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father.

John testified about him and shouted out, "This one was the one about whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'"

For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.

No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.

John said, "I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

John answered them, "I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,

This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'

And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining -- this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God."

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two disciples who heard what John said and followed Jesus.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him."

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

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified -- see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!"

John replied, "No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This then is my joy, and it is complete.

The one who comes from above is superior to all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to all.

He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

The one who has accepted his testimony has confirmed clearly that God is truthful.

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him.

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever he comes, he will tell us everything."

Jesus said to her, "I, the one speaking to you, am he."

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

So the disciples began to say to one another, "No one brought him anything to eat, did they?"

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work.

The one who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.

For in this instance the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.'

They said to the woman, "No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world."

So he asked them the time when his condition began to improve, and they told him, "Yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon the fever left him."

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me."

The man went away and informed the Jewish leaders that Jesus was the one who had made him well.

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

"I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

I can do nothing on my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.

nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

How can you believe, if you accept praise from one another and don't seek the praise that comes from the only God?

"Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.

Philip replied, "Two hundred silver coins worth of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to get a little."

One of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, "This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

Jesus replied, "This is the deed God requires -- to believe in the one whom he sent."

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

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.

For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

Now this is the will of the one who sent me -- that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.

Jesus replied, "Do not complain about me to one another.

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

(Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God -- he has seen the Father.)

I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.

Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.

Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever."

The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

So Jesus added, "Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come."

We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God!"

Jesus replied, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?"

(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

However, no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jewish leaders.

So Jesus replied, "My teaching is not from me, but from the one who sent me.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Hasn't Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?"

Jesus replied, "I performed one miracle and you are all amazed.

But we know where this man comes from. Whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "You both know me and know where I come from! And I have not come on my own initiative, but the one who sent me is true. You do not know him,

So then they tried to seize Jesus, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

Then Jesus said, "I will be with you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent me.

Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, "Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'"

Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.

The officers replied, "No one ever spoke like this man!"

Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said,

[[And each one departed to his own house.

Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"

She replied, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."]]

Then Jesus spoke out again, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

(Jesus spoke these words near the offering box while he was teaching in the temple courts. No one seized him because his time had not yet come.)

And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do those things that please him."

You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."

The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God's words. You don't listen and respond, because you don't belong to God."

I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges.

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, 'He is our God.'

We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

He replied, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing -- that although I was blind, now I can see."

Jesus told him, "You have seen him; he is the one speaking with you."

"I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

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

I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father."
