saying,
“Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
Matthew 13:36 ESV

Matthew 14:4 ESV

saying,
“Take heart;

saying,
“Send her away,
for she is crying out after us.”

help me.”

and have no fear.”

Jesus spoke to him first,
saying,
“What do you think,
Simon?
From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax?
From their sons or from others?”
Matthew 17:25 ESV

At that time the disciples came to Jesus,
saying,
“Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Matthew 18:1 ESV

he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii,
and seizing him,
he began to choke him,
saying,

a man came up to him,

“Who then can be saved?”

saying,
‘These last worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ Matthew 20:12 ESV

and immediately you will find a donkey tied,
and a colt with her.

saying,
“Who is this?”
Matthew 21:10 ESV

“Do you hear what these are saying?"
And Jesus said to them,
“Yes;
have you never read,
“‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
Matthew 21:16 ESV

When the disciples saw it,
they marveled,
saying,
“How did the fig tree wither at once?”
Matthew 21:20 ESV

The baptism of John,
from where did it come?
From heaven or from man?”
And they discussed it among themselves,
saying,
“If we say,
‘From heaven,’ he will say to us,
‘Why then did you not believe him?’ Matthew 21:25 ESV

saying,
‘They will respect my son.’ Matthew 21:37 ESV

And again Jesus spoke to them in parables,
saying,
Matthew 22:1 ESV

Again he sent other servants,
saying,
‘Tell those who are invited,
“See,
I have prepared my dinner,
my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered,
and everything is ready.
Come to the wedding feast.”’ Matthew 22:4 ESV

And they sent their disciples to him,
along with the Herodians,
saying,

we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully,
and you do not care about anyone's opinion,
for you are not swayed by appearances.
Matthew 22:16 ESV

saying,
“Teacher,
Moses said,
‘If a man dies having no children,

saying,
“What do you think about the Christ?
Whose son is he?”
They said to him,
“The son of David.”
Matthew 22:42 ESV

He said to them,
“How is it then that David,
in the Spirit,
calls him Lord,
saying,
Matthew 22:43 ESV

saying,

we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ Matthew 23:30 ESV

For many will come in my name,
saying,
‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.

saying,

lord,
open to us.’ Matthew 25:11 ESV

bringing five talents more,
saying,

you delivered to me five talents;
here,
I have made five talents more.’ Matthew 25:20 ESV

And he also who had the two talents came forward,
saying,
‘Master,
you delivered to me two talents;
here,
I have made two talents more.’ Matthew 25:22 ESV

He also who had received the one talent came forward,
saying,
‘Master,
I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you did not sow,
and gathering where you scattered no seed,
Matthew 25:24 ESV

Then the righteous will answer him,
saying,
‘Lord,
when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink?
Matthew 25:37 ESV

Then they also will answer,
saying,
‘Lord,
when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison,
and did not minister to you?’ Matthew 25:44 ESV

Then he will answer them,
saying,
‘Truly,
I say to you,
as you did not do it to one of the least of these,
you did not do it to me.’ Matthew 25:45 ESV

And when the disciples saw it,
they were indignant,
saying,
“Why this waste?
Matthew 26:8 ESV

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus,
saying,
“Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
Matthew 26:17 ESV

And he took a cup,
and when he had given thanks he gave it to them,
saying,
“Drink of it,
all of you,
Matthew 26:27 ESV

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed,
saying,
“My Father,
if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me;
nevertheless,
not as I will,
but as you will.”
Matthew 26:39 ESV

So,
leaving them again,
he went away and prayed for the third time,
saying the same words again.
Matthew 26:44 ESV

Now the betrayer had given them a sign,
saying,
“The one I will kiss is the man;
seize him.”
Matthew 26:48 ESV

saying,
“Prophesy to us,
you Christ!
Who is it that struck you?”
Matthew 26:68 ESV

But he denied it before them all,
saying,
“I do not know what you mean.”
Matthew 26:70 ESV

And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus,
“Before the rooster crows,
you will deny me three times.”

Matthew 26:75 ESV

saying,
“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”
They said,
“What is that to us?
See to it yourself.”

saying,
“And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,
Matthew 27:9 ESV

So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing,
but rather that a riot was beginning,
he took water and washed his hands before the crowd,
saying,
“I am innocent of this man's blood;
see to it yourselves.”
Matthew 27:24 ESV

they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand.

they mocked him,
saying,
“Hail,
King of the Jews!”

and saying,

save yourself!
If you are the Son of God,
come down from the cross.”

with the scribes and elders,
mocked him,
saying,
Matthew 27:41 ESV

saying,

Eli,
lema sabachthani?”

my God,
why have you forsaken me?”

saying,

the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
Mark 1:7 ESV

and saying,
“The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand;
repent and believe in the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 ESV

But Jesus rebuked him,
saying,
“Be silent,
and come out of him!”
Mark 1:25 ESV

so that they questioned among themselves,
saying,
“What is this?
A new teaching with authority!
He commands even the unclean spirits,
and they obey him.”
Mark 1:27 ESV

And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all,
so that they were all amazed and glorified God,
saying,
“We never saw anything like this!”
Mark 2:12 ESV

“Look,
why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
Mark 2:24 ESV

And when his family heard it,
they went out to seize him,
for they were saying,
“He is out of his mind.”
Mark 3:21 ESV

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying,
“He is possessed by Beelzebul,”
and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.”

for they were saying,
“He has an unclean spirit.”
Mark 3:30 ESV

“Come out of the man,
you unclean spirit!”
Mark 5:8 ESV

and they begged him,
saying,
“Send us to the pigs;
let us enter them.”
Mark 5:12 ESV

and implored him earnestly,
saying,
“My little daughter is at the point of death.
Come and lay your hands on her,
so that she may be made well and live.”
Mark 5:23 ESV

And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue,
and many who heard him were astonished,
saying,
“Where did this man get these things?
What is the wisdom given to him?
How are such mighty works done by his hands?
Mark 6:2 ESV

saying,
“Do not even enter the village.”

he rebuked the unclean spirit,
saying to it,
“You mute and deaf spirit,
I command you,
come out of him and never enter him again.”

for he was teaching his disciples,
saying to them,

and they will kill him.
And when he is killed,
after three days he will rise.”
Mark 9:31 ESV

he went away sorrowful,
for he had great possessions.

saying,
“See,
we are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes,

‘From heaven,’ he will say,
‘Why then did you not believe him?’ Mark 11:31 ESV

a beloved son.
Finally he sent him to them,
saying,

who say that there is no resurrection.
And they asked him a question,
saying,
Mark 12:18 ESV

saying,
Mark 14:57 ESV

saying to him,
“Prophesy!”

saying,
“I neither know nor understand what you mean.”

Mark 14:68 ESV

And he answered them,
saying,
“Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

saying,
“He saved others;
he cannot save himself.

saying,
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

And when they came to Jesus,
they pleaded with him earnestly,
saying,
“He is worthy to have you do this for him,
Luke 7:4 ESV

And Jesus went with them.
When he was not far from the house,
the centurion sent friends,
saying to him,
“Lord,
do not trouble yourself,
for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.
Luke 7:6 ESV

Fear seized them all,
and they glorified God,
saying,
“A great prophet has arisen among us!”

calling two of his disciples to him,
sent them to the Lord,
saying,
“Are you the one who is to come,
or shall we look for another?”

they said,

And they went and woke him,
saying,
“Master,
Master,
we are perishing!”

and they ceased,
and there was a calm.
Luke 8:24 ESV

He said to them,
“Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid,
and they marveled,
saying to one another,
“Who then is this,
that he commands even winds and water,
and they obey him?”
Luke 8:25 ESV

The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him,
but Jesus sent him away,
saying,
Luke 8:38 ESV

saying,
“Child,
arise.”
Luke 8:54 ESV

saying,
“The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes,
and be killed,
and on the third day be raised.”

As he was saying these things,
a cloud came and overshadowed them,
and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

And a voice came out of the cloud,
saying,
“This is my Son,
my Chosen One;
listen to him!”
Luke 9:35 ESV

But they did not understand this saying,
and it was concealed from them,
so that they might not perceive it.

saying,

what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

saying,

and whatever more you spend,
I will repay you when I come back.’ Luke 10:35 ESV

One of the lawyers answered him,
“Teacher,
in saying these things you insult us also.”
Luke 11:45 ESV

And he told them a parable,
saying,
“The land of a rich man produced plentifully,

When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door,
and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door,
saying,
‘Lord,
open to us,’ then he will answer you,

And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees,
saying,
“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath,
or not?”
Luke 14:3 ESV

Now he told a parable to those who were invited,
when he noticed how they chose the places of honor,
saying to them,

saying,
‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Luke 14:30 ESV

And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled,
saying,
“This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

he calls together his friends and his neighbors,
saying to them,

Master,
have mercy on us.”

standing far off,
would not even lift up his eyes to heaven,
but beat his breast,
saying,
‘God,
be merciful to me,
a sinner!’ Luke 18:13 ESV

But Jesus called them to him,
saying,
“Let the children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

This saying was hidden from them,
and they did not grasp what was said.
Luke 18:34 ESV

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him,
saying,
‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ Luke 19:14 ESV

saying,
‘Lord,
your mina has made ten minas more.’ Luke 19:16 ESV

And the second came,
saying,

your mina has made five minas.’ Luke 19:18 ESV

here is your mina,
which I kept laid away in a handkerchief;

‘From heaven,’ he will say,

and they asked him a question,
saying,
“Teacher,
Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies,
having a wife but no children,
the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

saying,
“Go and prepare the Passover for us,
that we may eat it.”

and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and gave it to them,
saying,
“This is my body,
which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
Luke 22:19 ESV

And likewise the cup after they had eaten,
saying,
“This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

saying,
“Father,
if you are willing,
remove this cup from me.
Nevertheless,
not my will,
but yours,
be done.”
Luke 22:42 ESV

But he denied it,
saying,
“Woman,
I do not know him.”

And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted,
saying,
“Certainly this man also was with him,
for he too is a Galilean.”

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter.
And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord,
how he had said to him,
“Before the rooster crows today,
you will deny me three times.”

And they began to accuse him,
saying,
“We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar,
and saying that he himself is Christ,
a king.”
Luke 23:2 ESV

But they were urgent,
saying,
“He stirs up the people,
teaching throughout all Judea,
from Galilee even to this place.”
Luke 23:5 ESV

And the people stood by,
watching,
but the rulers scoffed at him,
saying,
“He saved others;
let him save himself,
if he is the Christ of God,
his Chosen One!”
Luke 23:35 ESV

and saying,
“If you are the King of the Jews,
save yourself!”
Luke 23:37 ESV

One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him,
saying,
“Are you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us!”
Luke 23:39 ESV

But the other rebuked him,
saying,
“Do you not fear God,
since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
Luke 23:40 ESV

Now when the centurion saw what had taken place,
he praised God,
saying,
“Certainly this man was innocent!”
Luke 23:47 ESV

and when they did not find his body,
they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels,
who said that he was alive.
Luke 24:23 ESV

but they urged him strongly,
saying,
“Stay with us,
for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.”
So he went in to stay with them.
Luke 24:29 ESV

saying,
“The Lord has risen indeed,
and has appeared to Simon!”

“If you knew the gift of God,
and who it is that is saying to you,
‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him,
and he would have given you living water.”
John 4:10 ESV

The woman answered him,
“I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her,
“You are right in saying,
‘I have no husband’;
John 4:17 ESV

Meanwhile the disciples were urging him,
saying,
“Rabbi,
eat.”
John 4:31 ESV

For here the saying holds true,
‘One sows and another reaps.’ John 4:37 ESV

The Jews then disputed among themselves,
saying,
“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
John 6:52 ESV

When many of his disciples heard it,
they said,
“This is a hard saying;
who can listen to it?”
John 6:60 ESV

After saying this,
he remained in Galilee.
John 7:9 ESV

The Jews were looking for him at the feast,
and saying,
“Where is he?”
John 7:11 ESV

The Jews therefore marveled,
saying,
“How is it that this man has learning,
when he has never studied?”
John 7:15 ESV

What does he mean by saying,
‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and,
‘Where I am you cannot come’?”
John 7:36 ESV

Again Jesus spoke to them,
saying,
“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12 ESV

As he was saying these things,
many believed in him.
John 8:30 ESV

The Jews answered him,
“Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
John 8:48 ESV

The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying,
“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
John 9:8 ESV

Some said,
“It is he.”
Others said,
“No,
but he is like him.”
He kept saying,
“I am the man.”
John 9:9 ESV

And they reviled him,
saying,
“You are his disciple,
but we are disciples of Moses.
John 9:28 ESV

This figure of speech Jesus used with them,
but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
John 10:6 ESV

So the sisters sent to him,
saying,
“Lord,
he whom you love is ill.”
John 11:3 ESV

After saying these things,
he said to them,
“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep,
but I go to awaken him.”
John 11:11 ESV

When she had said this,
she went and called her sister Mary,
saying in private,
“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
John 11:28 ESV

Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him,
she fell at his feet,
saying to him,
“Lord,
if you had been here,
my brother would not have died.”
John 11:32 ESV

They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple,
“What do you think?
That he will not come to the feast at all?”
John 11:56 ESV

After saying these things,
Jesus was troubled in his spirit,
and testified,
“Truly,
truly,
I say to you,
one of you will betray me.”
John 13:21 ESV

So they were saying,
“What does he mean by ‘a little while’?
We do not know what he is talking about.”
John 16:18 ESV

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him,
so he said to them,
“Is this what you are asking yourselves,
what I meant by saying,
‘A little while and you will not see me,
and again a little while and you will see me’?
John 16:19 ESV

When he had said these things,
one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand,
saying,
“Is that how you answer the high priest?”
John 18:22 ESV

They came up to him,
saying,
“Hail,
King of the Jews!”
and struck him with their hands.
John 19:3 ESV

(This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.)
And after saying this he said to him,
“Follow me.”
John 21:19 ESV

So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die;
yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die,
but,
“If it is my will that he remain until I come,
what is that to you?”
John 21:23 ESV
