You will not find the Trinity in the Bible . The concept of Trinity was made up by the Nicene council to unify all the different Christian factions .
Every Jew , including Jesus knows that the Lord is one and indivisible, not 3 Lords and Not 3-in-1 God_heads. The Lord never transforms himself into human flesh .
For example Mr Smith is "Dad" to his kids, but "Darling" to his wife, and "Mr. Smith" to his employees , there are not 3 Mr Smiths !
When you read things like ' The Father , The Son and The Holy Ghost' in the Christian Bible , think of it like The Pope , the Archbishop and the Cardinal , 3 High Priests , all with the power and authority of God , but each has a different role. .

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...
2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all...amen.
Communion means communicate. The greek word is koinonia. We cannot communicate with an "essence". NO, you communicate with a person. The 3rd person of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost. We can also communicate with the Father and the Son because these three are one.

There is no one Bible verse that says they are one.
However, Deut. 6:4 says that God is one.
John 6:27 says that the Father is God.
John 1:1 says that the Son is God.
Acts 5:3-4 says that the Holy Spirit is God.
Put the sum of them together and you have the Trinity.
EDIT As for what the answerer above me stated, I would highly question her ability to distinguish between one Bible edition and another. Every translation of John 1:1 that I have read states the following (loosely or exactly), "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Now, being that this verse does not say who the Word is, you must fast-forward to verse 14 where it says that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." It is evident that the Word is Jesus. If the answerer has a problem with theos being translated as God in this instance, she will have to take that up with the Man Upstairs.

Ac 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we shouldn't think of that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by paintings and guy’s gadget. Ro a million:20 For the invisible issues of him from the introduction of the international are patently seen, being understood by the flaws that are made, even his eternal capability and Godhead; so as that they are devoid of excuse: Col 2:9 For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead actual.

My friend recently asked me that question. The following are verses in the Bible talking about them being one.
John 10:30;"I and the Father are one"(read the context)
John 14:26;"The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things."
Luke 2:11;"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, whch is Christ the Lord."
Isaiah 43:3;"For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour"
And in almost every book in the Bible you will see God refering himself to the Lord, and you also see Jesus refering himself to the Lord.
The one that really ties the knot is John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word. The word was with God, and the Word was God." It then goes on to say in John 1:14-17 saying jesus is the Word. In other words Jesus and God are the same thing. In church I have always been taught that the Holy Spirit is God's way of coming to be on Earth with his people today. And Jesus was God's way of dwelling among his people back then. God comes to us in many various ways. I hope I have answered your question. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trinity is theological shorthand for a complicated concept.
You won't find the technical term in any one book.
Genesis shows G*D as Spirit, Ruah the breath of G*D.
Angel Gabriel tells Mary, the Holy Spirit will overshadow you.
Jesus calls G*D Father, & himself Son of Man.
At Transfiguration, Jesus is called Son of God.
After Pentacost, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit, Paraclete.
It took the church 600 years to understand G*D as Trinity.
It's the only way to resolve One G*D in Three Persons.

No where. I do not believe in the trinity and there is actually proof in the Bible that it does not exist. Most Christians (I am a Christian just to clarify) use a specific verse (sadly I can not remember the reference but someone will probably post it) that says that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one, but I do not interpret it to mean they are one person. After all, all three of them were at Jesus Christ's baptism. And Jesus prayed to God many times. Many people probably disagree with me on this, but I wanted to voice my beliefs.
By the way, I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So I'm Mormon.
