"This Church Preaches Christ: His Name is Jesus" 

Luke 1:30-33 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

" Matt 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

We have all heard the sermons in which preachers say:

"Christ said..." 

"Christ did..."

"Christ is..."

But they hardly mention the name of Jesus. That is our Savior's name. Many of the messianic ministries simply refer to Jesus as "Messiah said..." "Messiah did..." "Messiah is..." Is it so hard for preachers to say and preach the name of the Lord Jesus? Apparently it is.

Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." 

I listen to Oliver B. Greene's sermons, from years ago. That man lifted up the name of Jesus Christ. He was not ashamed to say the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus just flowed from his heart into every sermon he preached. He did not candy coat things. He preached Christ Jesus with authority.

1Cor 1:2 "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"

Years ago, songs were written with titles such as:

"What a Friend We have In Jesus,"

"Jesus paid it all," 

"Give it all to Jesus," 

"Jesus, lover of my soul,"

"Jesus is the Sweetest Name I know,"

"Jesus on My Mind,"

"Tell It to Jesus,"

"Victory in Jesus"

Nowadays, those great songs would be entitled: 

"What a Friend We have In Christ" 

"Christ paid it all"

"Give it all to Christ"

"Christ, Lover of My Soul"

"Christ is the Sweetest Name I know"

"Christ on My Mind"

"Tell It To Christ"

"Victory in Christ"

Acts 8:12 "But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women."

If I have a dentist named, "Dr. Smith" and I keep on calling him, "Dentist" or saying to people, "Oh, go to Dentist... he will fix your teeth. Dentist did a great job on my crown. Dentist is a nice man..." What is missing here? I have completely depersonalized my dentist.

I should have called him, "Dr. Smith". Or at least I should have referred to him as, "My Dentist."

Dentist is what he is and does but Dr. Smith is his name. 

Christ is our Lord's title but when we speak of Him, we should care to mention that He is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 5:40 "... when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

" We are to go and preach in the name of the Lord Jesus. Baptize converts in the name of Jesus. Demons even have to come out in the name of Jesus Christ. There is power in the name of Jesus. 

Acts 16:18 "....Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour." 

The world does not like the name of Jesus. One that is preaching Jesus is made fun of. But many popular evangelists who just say, "Christ..." are welcomed around the world. 

Acts 4:18 "And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." 

Act 8:35 "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."

That is just one example of the trend among preachers lately. Many of them do not even mention the name of Jesus. They say, "Christ" this and "Christ" that and I find it grievous in a way because the Lord Jesus when addressing the Apostle Paul or the Book of Revelation referred to Himself as "Jesus".

I realize that the epistles in the New Testament address Jesus many times as "Christ", which means Messiah but the epistles also say "Christ Jesus"..."Jesus Christ"... "Lord Jesus Christ"..."Our Lord Jesus Christ"..."the Lord Jesus Christ." 

Phil 2:10-11 "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

" We have softened that powerful name of Jesus by just constantly referring to Him as "Christ." The world swears and cusses "Christ" and it is harsh to hear. It is equally harsh to hear over and over again "Christ" this and "Christ" that in sermons without any mention of our Messiah's name. [Remember too that the New Age Movement uses "Christ" in their literature. Their "christ" is not the Lord Jesus Christ! But with the one-world church uniting...a generic "christ" is their aim. ]

It is almost as if Christians are ashamed of the name of Jesus and have deleted the personal closeness of who Jesus is. Maybe I am the only one who feels this way but it is something to think about. Email us with your input about this subject. 

 

 

 

Christ/Messiah is who Jesus is. He is Messiah. He died for us and rose again and He is our Savior! And Jesus is His name! Christ Jesus, Himself, says the following:

Rev 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. " 

Act 9:5a "And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:" 

Act 26:15 "And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest." If you know the Lord Jesus personally, you call Him by name! If you know Jesus personally, you boldly preach in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. When you pray, pray to the Father in Jesus' name. When you are in trouble, do you say, "Christ, I ask you to help me"? No, you address Him as the "Lord Jesus." For that is His name. Call His Name Jesus! 

Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby, we must be saved. 

"This Church Preaches Christ:HIS NAME IS JESUS"

                              

"And Jesus said"

(Mat 4:7) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

(Mat 8:10) When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 

(Mat 8:13) And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

(Mat 11:4) Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see:

(Mat 11:25) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

(Mat 12:25) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 

(Mat 13:57) And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. 

(Mat 14:16) But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 

(Mat 14:29) And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 

(Mat 14:31) And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

(Mat 15:16) And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

(Mat 15:28) Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 

(Mat 15:32) Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 

(Mat 15:34) And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 

(Mat 16:6) Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 

(Mat 16:8) Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

(Mat 16:17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 

(Mat 16:24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 

(Mat 17:7) And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 

(Mat 17:11) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.

(Mat 17:20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 

(Mat 17:22) And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 

(Mat 19:14) But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

(Mat 19:18) He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 

(Mat 19:21) Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

(Mat 19:23) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

(Mat 19:26) But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 

(Mat 19:28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

(Mat 20:17) And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 

(Mat 20:22) But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. 

(Mat 20:25) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

(Mat 20:32) And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 

(Mat 21:16) And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise 

(Mat 21:21) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 

(Mat 21:24) And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 

(Mat 21:27) And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 

(Mat 22:1) And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 

(Mat 22:18) But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

(Mat 22:29) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 

(Mat 22:37) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

(Mat 24:2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 

(Mat 24:4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 

(Mat 26:1) And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 

(Mat 26:10) When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 

(Mat 26:26) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

(Mat 26:34) Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

(Mat 26:50) And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

(Mat 26:52) Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

(Mat 26:55) In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 

(Mat 26:64) Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

(Mat 26:75) And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. 

(Mat 27:11) And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 

(Mat 28:10) Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 

(Mar 1:17) And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 

(Mar 2:5) When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 

(Mar 2:8) And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

(Mar 2:19) And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 

(Mar 5:7) And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 

(Mar 5:30) And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 

(Mar 6:4) But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

(Mar 7:27) But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

(Mar 9:23) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 

(Mar 9:39) But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 

(Mar 10:5) And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 

(Mar 10:14) But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

(Mar 10:18) And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 

(Mar 10:21) Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

(Mar 10:29) And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 

(Mar 10:38) But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 

(Mar 10:39) And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 

(Mar 10:51) And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

(Mar 10:52) And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

(Mar 11:14) And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. 

(Mar 11:29) And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

(Mar 11:33) And they answered and said unto Jesus. We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. 

(Mar 12:17) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marveled at him.

(Mar 12:24) And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?

(Mar 12:34) And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. 

(Mar 12:35) And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? 

(Mar 13:2) And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 

(Mar 14:6) And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 

(Mar 14:18) And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

(Mar 14:22) And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 

(Mar 14:48) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 

(Mar 14:62) And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

(Mar 14:72) And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

(Luk 4:8) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

(Luk 4:12) And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

(Luk 5:10) And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 

(Luk 5:22) But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 

(Luk 5:31) And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician: but they that are sick 

(Luk 6:3) And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they which were with him;

(Luk 6:9) Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 

(Luk 7:9) When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

(Luk 7:22) Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. 

(Luk 7:40) And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 

(Luk 8:45) And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 

(Luk 8:46) And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me

(Luk 9:41) And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

(Luk 9:50) And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 

(Luk 9:58) And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 

(Luk 9:60) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 

(Luk 9:62) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

(Luk 10:21) In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

(Luk 10:30) And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 

(Luk 10:37) And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

(Luk 10:41) And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 

(Luk 13:2) And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 

(Luk 13:12) And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 

(Luk 17:17) And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 

(Luk 18:16) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

(Luk 18:19) And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

(Luk 18:22) Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

(Luk 18:24) And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 

(Luk 18:42) And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

(Luk 19:5) And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

(Luk 19:9) And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

(Luk 20:8) And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 

(Luk 20:34) And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage

(Luk 22:48) But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

(Luk 22:51) And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

(Luk 22:52) Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

(Luk 23:28) But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

(Luk 23:34) Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

(Luk 23:43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

(Luk 23:46) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

(Luk 24:19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 

(Joh 1:38) Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

(Joh 1:42) And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

(Joh 1:48) Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 

(Joh 1:50) Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 

(Joh 2:19) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

(Joh 2:22) When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 

(Joh 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 

(Joh 3:10) Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

(Joh 4:10) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

(Joh 4:13) Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again

(Joh 4:17) The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

(Joh 4:48) Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

(Joh 4:53) So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

(Joh 5:14) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

(Joh 5:19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise

(Joh 6:10) And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 

(Joh 6:26) Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 

(Joh 6:29) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

(Joh 6:32) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 

(Joh 6:35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 

(Joh 6:43) Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

(Joh 6:53) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

(Joh 6:61) When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

(Joh 6:67) Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 

(Joh 7:6) Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

(Joh 7:16) Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 

(Joh 7:21) Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 

(Joh 7:33) Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 

(Joh 8:10) When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 

(Joh 8:11) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 

(Joh 8:14) Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 

(Joh 8:19) Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

(Joh 8:21) Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

(Joh 8:25) Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 

(Joh 8:28) Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 

(Joh 8:31) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 

(Joh 8:39) They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 

(Joh 8:42) Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

(Joh 8:58) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

(Joh 9:35) Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 

(Joh 9:37) And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 

(Joh 9:39) And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 

(Joh 9:41) Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. 

(Joh 10:7) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 

(Joh 10:34) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods

(Joh 11:4) When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

(Joh 11:14) Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 

 

(Joh 11:25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

(Joh 11:39) Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 

(Joh 11:40) Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 

(Joh 12:7) Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 

(Joh 12:30) Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 

(Joh 12:35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 

(Joh 12:44) Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

(Joh 13:7) Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 

(Joh 13:27) And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

(Joh 13:31) Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 

(Joh 13:36) Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 

(Joh 14:23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

(Joh 16:19) Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 

(Joh 17:1) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 

(Joh 18:4) Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 

(Joh 18:7) Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth

(Joh 18:11) Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 

(Joh 18:20) Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

(Joh 18:37) Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 

(Joh 19:30) When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

(Joh 20:21) Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 

(Joh 20:26) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace, be unto you. 

(Joh 21:17) He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 

(Act 2:38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

(Act 3:6) Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

(Act 8:37) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

(Act 9:5) And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 

(Act 9:17) And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 

(Act 9:34) And Peter said unto him, Aeneas Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 

(Act 16:18) And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 

(Act 16:31) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 

(Act 17:18) Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

(Act 19:4) Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 

(Act 20:35) I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 

(Act 22:8) And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 

(Act 26:15) And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

(Rev 19:10) And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
