Verb laleō (to speak) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV for the New Testament with a few modifications for a more litteral meaning)

Matthew

9: 18While he was speaking (laleō) about these things to them, suddenly a leader of the synagogue came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."
9: 33And when the demon had been cast out, the one who had been mute spoke (laleō); and the crowds were amazed and said, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel."
10: 19When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak (laleō); for what you are to speak (laleō) will be given to you at that time;
10: 19When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak (laleō) or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time;
10: 20for it is not you who speak (laleō), but the Spirit of your Father speaking (laleō) through you.
12: 22Then they brought to him a demoniac who was blind and mute; and he cured him, so that the one who had been mute could speak (laleō) and see.
12: 34You brood of vipers! How can you speak (laleō) good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (laleō).
12: 36I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you speak (laleō);
12: 46While he was still speaking (laleō) to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, wanting to speak (laleō) to him.
12: 47Someone told him, "Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak (laleō) to you."
13: 3And he told them many things in parables, saying (laleō): "Listen! A sower went out to sow.
13: 10Then the disciples came and asked him, "Why do you speak (laleō) to them in parables?"
13: 13The reason I speak (laleō) to them in parables is that 'seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.'
13: 33He spoke (laleō) to them about another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."
13: 34Jesus spoke (laleō) to the crowds about all these things in parables; without a parable he told them nothing.
14: 27But immediately Jesus spoke (laleō) to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid."
15: 31so that the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking (laleō), the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.
17: 5While he was still speaking (laleō), suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!"
23: 1Then Jesus spoke (laleō) to the crowds and to his disciples,
26: 13Truly I tell you, wherever this good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken (laleō) about in remembrance of her."
26: 47While he was still speaking (laleō), Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
28: 18And Jesus came and spoke (laleō) to them saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Mark

1: 34And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak (laleō), because they knew him.
2: 2So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking (laleō) the word to them.
2: 7"Why does this fellow speak (laleō) in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
4: 33With many such parables he spoke (laleō) the word to them, as they were able to hear it;
4: 34he did not speak (laleō) to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.
5: 35While he was still speaking (laleō), some people came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?"
5: 36But overhearing what they said, Jesus spoke (laleō) to the leader of the synagogue saying, "Do not fear, only believe."
6: 50for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke (laleō) to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid."
7: 35And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke (laleō) plainly.
7: 37They were astounded beyond measure, saying, "He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak (laleō)."
8: 32He spoke (laleō) about all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
11: 23Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you spoke (laleō) of will come to pass, it will be done for you.
12: 1Then he began to speak (laleō) to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower; then he leased it to tenants and went to another country.
13: 11When they bring you to trial and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to speak (laleō); but speak (laleō) whatever is given you at that time, for it is not you who speak (laleō), but the Holy Spirit.
14: 9Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken (laleō) of in remembrance of her."
14: 31But he spoke (laleō) vehemently, "Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you." And all of them said the same.
14: 43Immediately, while he was still speaking (laleō), Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; and with him there was a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
16: 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak (laleō) in new tongues;
16: 19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken (laleō) to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

Luke

1: 19The angel replied, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak (laleō) to you and to bring you this good news.
1: 20But now, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, you will become mute, unable to speak (laleō), until the day these things occur."
1: 22When he did come out, he could not speak (laleō) to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them and remained speechless.
1: 45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken (laleō) to her by the Lord."
1: 55according to what was spoken (laleō) to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."
1: 64Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak (laleō), praising God.
1: 70as he spoke (laleō) through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
2: 15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds spoke (laleō) to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us."
2: 17When they saw this, they made known what had been spoken (laleō) to them about this child;
2: 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds spoke (laleō) to them.
2: 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been spoken (laleō) to them.
2: 33And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being spoken (laleō) about him.
2: 38At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak (laleō) about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
2: 50But they did not understand what he spoke (laleō) to them.
4: 41Demons also came out of many, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak (laleō), because they knew that he was the Messiah.
5: 4When he had finished speaking (laleō), he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."
5: 21Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, "Who is this who is speaking (laleō) blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
6: 45The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks (laleō).
7: 15The dead man sat up and began to speak (laleō), and Jesus gave him to his mother.
8: 49While he was still speaking (laleō), someone came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
9: 11When the crowds found out about it, they followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke (laleō) to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed to be cured.
11: 14Now he was casting out a demon that was mute; when the demon had gone out, the one who had been mute spoke (laleō), and the crowds were amazed.
11: 37While he was speaking (laleō), a Pharisee invited him to dine with him; so he went in and took his place at the table.
12: 3Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken (laleō) behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops.
22: 47While he was still speaking (laleō), suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him;
22: 60But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about!" At that moment, while he was still speaking (laleō), the cock crowed.
24: 6Remember how he spoke (laleō) to you, while he was still in Galilee,
24: 25Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken (laleō) about.
24: 32They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking (laleō) to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?"
24: 36While they were speaking (laleō) about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
24: 44Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke (laleō) to you while I was still with you - that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled."

John

1: 37The two disciples heard him speaking (laleō), and they followed Jesus.
3: 11"Very truly, I tell you, we speak (laleō) of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony.
3: 31The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks (laleō) about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
3: 34He whom God has sent speaks (laleō) the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.
4: 26Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who is speaking (laleō) to you."
4: 27Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking (laleō) with a woman, but no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you speaking (laleō) with her?"
6: 63It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken (laleō) to you are spirit and life.
7: 13Yet no one would speak (laleō) openly about him for fear of the Jews.
7: 17Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking (laleō) on my own.
7: 18Those who speak (laleō) on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.
7: 26And here he is, speaking (laleō) openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?
7: 46The police answered, "Never has anyone spoken (laleō) like this!"
8: 12Again Jesus spoke (laleō) to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
8: 20He spoke (laleō) these words while he was teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
8: 25They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Why do I speak (laleō) to you at all?
8: 26I have much to speak (laleō) about you and much to condemn; but the one who sent me is true, and I speak (laleō) to the world about what I have heard from him."
8: 28So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak (laleō) these things as the Father instructed me.
8: 30As he was saying (laleō) these things, many believed in him.
8: 38I speak (laleō) about what I have seen in the Father's presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father."
8: 40but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has spoke (laleō) to you about the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
8: 44You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks (laleō) (telling) lies, he speaks (laleō) according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
9: 21but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak (laleō) for himself."
9: 29We know that God has spoken (laleō) to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."
9: 37Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and the one speaking (laleō) with you is he."
10: 6Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying (laleō) to them.
12: 29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel has spoken (laleō) to him."
12: 36While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had spoken (laleō) about this, he departed and hid from them.
12: 41Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke (laleō) about him.
12: 48The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken (laleō) will serve as judge,
12: 49for I have not spoken (laleō) on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak (laleō).
12: 50And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak (laleō), therefore, I speak (laleō) just as the Father has told me."
14: 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak (laleō) on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
14: 25"I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you while I am still with you.
14: 30I will no longer speak (laleō) much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me;
15: 3You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken (laleō) to you.
15: 11I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
15: 22If I had not come and spoken (laleō) to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
16: 1"I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you to keep you from stumbling.
16: 4But I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
16: 6But because I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
16: 13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak (laleō) on his own, but will speak (laleō) whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
16: 18They said, "What does he mean by this 'a little while'? We do not know what he is talking (laleō) about."
16: 25"I have spoken (laleō) of these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak (laleō) to you in figures, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
16: 29His disciples said, "Yes, now you are speaking (laleō) plainly, not in any figure of speech!
16: 33I have spoken (laleō) of this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!"
17: 1After Jesus had spoken (laleō) these words, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you,
17: 13But now I am coming to you, and I speak (laleō) these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.
18: 20Jesus answered, "I have spoken (laleō) openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I have spoken (laleō) of nothing in secret.
18: 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I have spoken (laleō) to them; they know what I said."
18: 23Jesus answered, "If I have spoken (laleō) wrongly, testify to the wrong. But if rightly, why do you strike me?"
19: 10Pilate therefore said to him, "Do you refuse to speak (laleō) to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
