78 times in the gospels the words of Jesus "I tell You the Truth" are recorded. I did not count to see how many of these times are retellings by the different authors of the same teaching.
The word "truth" appears 22 times in the King James version of John's gospel.
The phrase, "I tell you the truth," appears three times in the King James version:John 8:45 - And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.John 16:7 - Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.Galatians 4:16 - Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
