Matthew

6: 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows (oida) what you need before you ask him.
6: 32For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows (oida) that you need all these things.
7: 11If you then, who are evil, know (oida) how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

24: 43But understand this: if the owner of the house had known (oida) in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

26: 72Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know (oida) the man."
26: 74Then he began to curse, and he swore an oath, "I do not know (oida) the man!" At that moment the cock crowed.

12: 15Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing (oida) their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why are you putting me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me see it."

11: 13If you then, who are evil, know (oida) how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
11: 17But he knew (oida) what they were thinking and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself becomes a desert, and house falls on house.

12: 30For it is the nations of the world that strive after all these things, and your Father knows (oida) that you need them.
12: 39"But be aware of this: if the owner of the house had known (oida) at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
12: 56You hypocrites! You know (oida) how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know (oida) how to interpret the present time?
13: 25When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then in reply he will say to you, 'I do not know (oida) where you come from.'

John

1: 26John answered them, "I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not know (oida),
1: 31I myself did not know (oida) him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel."
1: 33I myself did not know (oida) him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
2: 9When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know (oida) where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew (oida)), the steward called the bridegroom
3: 2He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know (oida) that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God."
3: 8The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know (oida) where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
3: 11"Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know (oida) and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony.
4: 10Jesus answered her, "If you knew (oida) 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."
4: 22You worship what you do not know (oida); we worship what we know (oida), for salvation is from the Jews.
4: 25The woman said to him, "I know (oida) that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us."
4: 32But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know (oida) about."
4: 42They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know (oida) that this is truly the Savior of the world."
5: 13Now the man who had been healed did not know (oida) who it was, for Jesus had disappeared in the crowd that was there.
5: 32There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know (oida) that his testimony to me is true.
6: 6He said this to test him, for he himself knew (oida) what he was going to do.
6: 42They were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know (oida)? How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"
6: 61But Jesus, knowing (oida) that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, "Does this offend you?
6: 64But among you there are some who do not believe." For Jesus knew (oida) from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him.
7: 15The Jews were astonished at it, saying, "How does this man knows (oida) writings, when he has never been taught?"
7: 27Yet we know (oida) where this man is from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."
7: 28Then Jesus cried out as he was teaching in the temple, "You know (oida) me, and you know (oida) where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know (oida) him.
7: 29I know (oida) him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
8: 14Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know (oida) where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know (oida) where I come from or where I am going.
8: 19Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know (oida) neither me nor my Father. If you knew (oida) me, you would know (oida) my Father also."
8: 37I know (oida) that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no place in you for my word.
8: 55though you do not know him. But I know (oida) him; if I would say that I do not know (oida) him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know (oida) him and I keep his word.
9: 12They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know (oida)."
9: 20His parents answered, "We know (oida) that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
9: 21but we do not know (oida) how it is that now he sees, nor do we know (oida) who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself."
9: 24So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know (oida) that this man is a sinner."
9: 25He answered, "I do not know (oida) whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know (oida), that though I was blind, now I see."
9: 29We know (oida) that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know (oida) where he comes from."
9: 30The man answered, "Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know (oida) where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
9: 31We know (oida) that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will.
10: 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know (oida) his voice.
10: 5They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know (oida) the voice of strangers."
11: 22But even now I know (oida) that God will give you whatever you ask of him."
11: 24Martha said to him, "I know (oida) that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
11: 42I knew (oida) that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me."
11: 49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know (oida) nothing at all!
12: 35Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know (oida) where you are going.
12: 50And I know (oida) that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."
13: 1Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew (oida) that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
13: 3Jesus, knowing (oida) that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,
13: 7Jesus answered, "You do not know (oida) now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
13: 11For he knew (oida) who was to betray him; for this reason he said, "Not all of you are clean."
13: 17If you know (oida) these things, you are blessed if you do them.
13: 18I am not speaking of all of you; I know (oida) whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.'
14: 4And you know (oida) the way to the place where I am going."
14: 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know (oida) where you are going. How can we know (oida) the way?"
15: 15I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know (oida) what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
15: 21But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know (oida) him who sent me.
16: 18They said, "What does he mean by this 'a little while'? We do not know (oida) what he is talking about."
16: 30Now we know (oida) that you know (oida) all things, and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God."
18: 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew (oida) the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.
18: 4Then Jesus, knowing (oida) all that was to happen to him, came forward and asked them, "Whom are you looking for?"
18: 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know (oida) what I said."
19: 10Pilate therefore said to him, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know (oida) that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
19: 28After this, when Jesus knew (oida) that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), "I am thirsty."
19: 35(He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows (oida) that he tells the truth.)
20: 2So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know (oida) where they have laid him."
20: 9for as yet they did not understand (oida) the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
20: 13They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know (oida) where they have laid him."
20: 14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know (oida) that it was Jesus.
21: 4Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know (oida) that it was Jesus.
21: 12Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they knew (oida) it was the Lord.
21: 15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know (oida) that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
21: 16A second time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know (oida) that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep."
21: 17He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know (oida) everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
21: 24This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know (oida) that his testimony is true.
