'Saying' in the Bible

John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

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

As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!"

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

Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?"

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."

When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."

Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."

Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died."

These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."

When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn't die. Yet Jesus didn't say to him that he wouldn't die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"
