The Words of Jesus: A Complete Collection of the Sayings of Jesus

Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to establish peace on the earth; I have not come to establish peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household.”

(Matthew 10:34-36)

In this book are all the words of Jesus as recorded in the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are arranged according to subject matter so that it is easy to find what you are looking for without having to read through pages of Scripture searching for it.

The words of Jesus are quoted in the Christian Scriptures, including the Synoptic Gospels and John.

The canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke include many sayings attributed to Jesus.[1] Some of these are found only in one Gospel; others are found in two or three; others are common to all three. The canonical Gospels include some passages that are not shared by any other book of the New Testament.

According to Catholic tradition, some of the sayings attributed to Jesus were written down by his followers on papyrus scrolls, known as “Gospel manuscripts”, a few years after his death.[2] Most modern scholars agree that whatever Papias wrote about this issue was lost,[3] so what we know about his views is limited.

The oldest surviving text from the early Christian era is Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians (c. AD 55–57). In addition to the canonical Gospels, there are a number of other sources for information about Jesus’ life and teachings, including:

Jesus Christ was the son of God, the creator and savior of humanity. He has been called the Messiah and is believed to be the one prophesied in the Old Testament.

He lived from about 4 BC to about 30 AD, but his teachings were recorded by his disciples after his death. These teachings are preserved in the New Testament and are some of our earliest historical documents.

Jesus lived as a carpenter in Galilee and he spoke Aramaic, not English or any other modern language. His teachings were recorded in Greek (the language used for most written works at that time) by his disciples who had varying levels of education—some could write, while others could not read or write at all. They wrote down what they heard Jesus say, but they did not record everything he said because there would have been too many words to remember! So some parts may have been lost over time; however, we can still learn much from these passages today!

Words Of Jesus In Chronological Order

The four Gospels provide different accounts of the life of Christ. They do not all follow a strict chronological order since it was the custom of writers to bring up points to emphasize an idea. So, sometimes there are questions as to the exact order of certain events. This table provides an order of the events of the seven sayings of Jesus while he was on the cross.

A Harmony of The Gospels containing the Seven Sayings of Jesus

Actual Words Of Jesus

Let me say three things about the ipsissima verba, the very words of Jesus. First, we do not know what language Jesus spoke in every conversation and every teaching moment of his life. He could speak in Greek, he could speak in Aramaic, he could speak in Hebrew, but there is very good evidence that at least some of the time (most scholars would say most of the time; there’s a little bit of guesswork going on here) he was speaking in Aramaic, the ordinary Semitic language of Galilee and Judea at the time. Some of the evidence for that is that the Gospel writers preserve some of his Aramaic words:

  • “Talitha cumi” in Mark 5:41
  • “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” in Mark 15:34
  • “Ephphatha”in Mark 7:34
  • “Abba” in Mark 14:36

And these leftovers from Aramaic caused most scholars to say he probably spoke most of the time in Aramaic, which was a Semitic language — it was related to Hebrew, and very much like Hebrew in Judea and Galilee at that time. This means we probably don’t have the very words of Jesus all the time because he didn’t speak in Greek, and what we have is Greek. The New Testament was written in Greek originally, and we read it in our translations. And so, even if he sometimes taught in Greek, which he may well have, readers of English today don’t have the very words because they’re reading English.

That’s the first observation: we probably do not have the ipsissima verba because he spoke in Aramaic, and nobody reads Aramaic when they read the Greek New Testament today, which is the way it was written.

What Jesus Meant

Second observation: What is essential in connecting us reliably with the mind of Christ — what he really intended to communicate when he taught — is not the very words, but the very meaning, the very intention that he had when he communicated with whatever words he used. Communicating meaning, intention, is essential. Words are means to that end. Here’s an example: What if you sent a friend to ask me if I thought you should purchase a subscription to a certain video service? And he reports back to you, in writing, in an email, “John said, ‘Yeah, I am sure that would be a great use of your money.’” Now, those are my very words, but what if I had sarcastically said them to your friend, like this: “Yeah, I’m sure that would be a great use of your money.” The meaning, the intention of my words, is “Don’t be stupid. Don’t waste your money on that subscription.”

So, the point is this: My very words may not carry my meaning. People need to realize this about language. Meaning and language are not the same, and we need to be alert to how language communicates intention. I want to know what Jesus meant — what he intended me to understand. Whether I have his very words or not is relatively unimportant compared to this: Are the words that God used to communicate the meaning of Jesus doing that for us?

The second point, then, is that we must not assume it is better to have the very words of Jesus than it is to have an accurate and faithful rendering of the meaning and the mind of Christ, guaranteed by God in the inspiration of the Scriptures.

Love God and your neighbor

When asked which commandment was the most important, Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39).

When you replace hate with love, and anger with kindness, you’ll feel closer to God and notice more peace in your life.

2

Live the Golden Rule

Jesus taught the Golden Rule during His Sermon on the Mount: “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12). In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. As you do so, you will strengthen your relationships and be happier.

Have faith in Jesus Christ

In John 3:16 we read, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Having faith in Jesus Christ means believing in Him and His teachings. Doing so will bless you in this life and in the life to come.

4

Communicate sincerely with God

Jesus taught by example that we should pray to God, our Heavenly Father, often. God loves you. He stands ready to help you. Communicate with Him through prayer, express gratitude, and ask for things you need.

5

Freely forgive

While Jesus was on the earth, Peter asked Him, “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?” Jesus responded, “I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21–22). When we freely offer forgiveness to others, we can invite more peace and forgiveness into our own lives.
