### Examples from the Bible
>They said, “<u>We</u> have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless <u>we</u> went and bought food for all this crowd of people.” (Luke 9:13 ULB)
>They said, “<u>We</u> have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless <u>we</u> go and buy food for all these people.” (Luke 9:13 ULB)
In the first clause, the disciples are telling Jesus how much food they have among them, so this "we" could be the inclusive form or the exclusive form. In the second clause, the disciples are talking about some of them going to buy food, so that "we" would be the exclusive form, since Jesus would not go to buy food.
><u>we</u> have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to <u>us</u> (1 John 1:2 ULB)
>... <u>we</u> have seen it, and <u>we</u> bear witness to it. <u>We</u> are announcing to you the eternal life.... (1 John 1:2 ULB)
John is telling people who have not seen Jesus what he and the other apostles have seen. So languages that have exclusive forms of "we" and "us" would use the exclusive forms in this verse.

>... the shepherds said one to each other, "Let <u>us</u> now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to <u>us</u>." (Luke 2:15 ULB)
>... the shepherds said one to each other, "Let <u>us</u> now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to <u>us</u>." (Luke 2:15 ULB)
The shepherds were speaking to one another. When they said "us," they were <u>including</u> the people they were speaking to - one another.
>Now it happened on one of those days that Jesus and his disciples entered into a boat, and he said to them, "Let <u>us</u> go over to the other side of the lake." Then they set sail. (Luke 8:22 ULB)
>Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let <u>us</u> go over to the other side of the lake." They set sail. (Luke 8:22 ULB)
When Jesus said "us," he was referring to himself and to the disciples he was speaking to, so this would be the inclusive form.
