501 | GEN 20:5 | Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!” |
606 | GEN 24:14 | May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness to my master.” |

20783 | EZK 13:6 | The visions they see are false, and the prophecies they give are lies. They claim, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ when the Lord didn't send them. Even so they still expect their message to be fulfilled! |

20787 | EZK 13:10 | They have deceived my people by saying, ‘We shall have peace,’ when there won't be any peace. It's like they're putting a coat of whitewash on an unstable wall of loose stones that the people have built. |

23865 | MAT 20:4 | ‘Go and work in the vineyard too, and I'll pay you what's right,’ he told them. So they went to work. |

23920 | MAT 21:25 | Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven, or was it from human beings?” They argued with each other. “If we say ‘it was from heaven,’ then he'll ask us why we didn't believe him. |
23921 | MAT 21:26 | But if we say, ‘it was from human beings,’ then the crowd will turn against us, because they all consider John to be a prophet.” |
23925 | MAT 21:30 | The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't. |
23932 | MAT 21:37 | So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself. |
24031 | MAT 24:5 | “Many will come claiming to be me, saying, ‘I'm the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many people. |
24049 | MAT 24:23 | So if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here's the Messiah,’ or, ‘There he is,’ don't believe it. |
24052 | MAT 24:26 | So if they tell you, ‘Look, he's out in the desert,’ don't go looking there; or if they say, ‘Look, he's secretly here,’ don't believe it. |
24074 | MAT 24:48 | But if he was evil, the servant would say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time,’ |
24088 | MAT 25:11 | The other girls came later. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they called, ‘Open the door for us!’ |
24338 | MRK 2:9 | What's easier: to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’? |
24542 | MRK 7:10 | Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses their father or mother should die.’ |
24543 | MRK 7:11 | But you say that if someone tells their father or mother, ‘Anything you might have received from me is now Corban,’ (that means dedicated to God), |
24732 | MRK 11:23 | “Believe me when I say to you that if you told this mountain, ‘Get out of here and be thrown into the sea,’ and you don't doubt in your heart, but are convinced about what you're asking, then it will happen! |

25257 | LUK 6:42 | How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye. |
25261 | LUK 6:46 | So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say? |
25546 | LUK 12:18 | I know what I'll do,’ he decided. ‘I'll pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and then I'll be able to store all my crops and everything I own. |
25573 | LUK 12:45 | But what if the servant were to say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and then starts beating the other servants, both men and women, feasting and getting drunk? |

25583 | LUK 12:55 | When a south wind blows, you say ‘it's going to be hot,’ and it is. |
25684 | LUK 15:27 | ‘Your brother is back,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he's come home safe and sound.’ |
25713 | LUK 16:24 | ‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’ |
