How many times did Jesus say go?

Answer 1

Jesus said follow me in the kjv bible, 5 times in Matthew 4:19, 8:22, 9:9, 16:24 & 19:21- in Mark 3 times 2:14, 8:34 & 10:21. He followed it in Luke 4 x's 5:27,9:23,9:59 and 18:22 then in John 5 x's 1:43, 10:27, 12:26, 13:36 and in 12:8. Finally in Acts 1 x vs. 12:8. Hope this helps.

Actually, all the references in Mark and Luke above are duplicates.

John 12:8 & Acts 12:8 aren't spoken by Jesus

There are additional verses - John 10:4,5; 21:19,22, Mark 16:17; Luke 17:23, 22:10

So all in all, Jesus said the word "Follow" 16 different times.

-7 times Jesus tells specific people to follow Him

-6 times, follow is a general command or usage (examples - 1. deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me. 2. Sheep follow the shepherd)

-2 times it is used as "don't follow"

-1 time it is a command for Peter & John to follow a man carrying a jar or water to the Upper Room

Answer 2

Jesus told his disciples and other people to follow him or come after him about 15 times in the gospels, though some of these are repeats or duplications; as the four gospels are to a large extent repeats of Jesus' ministry.

Answer 3

The word 'go' appears about 150 times in Matthew's gospel, and mostly spoken by Jesus. The other gospels would be almost a duplication of this.
