'Down' in the Bible

After this he went down to Capernaum, and his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there {a few} days.

And Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, [because he] had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.

This man, [when he] heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

The royal official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"

Now [as] he was going down, his slaves met him, saying that his child was alive.

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.

Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.

Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven,"

and they were saying, "Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live {forever}."

Now early in the morning he came again to the temple [courts]. And all the people were coming, and he sat down [and] began to teach them.

(Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

And bending down again, he wrote on the ground.

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down {voluntarily}. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father."

Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!

No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.

So Pilate, [when he] heard these words, brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat, in the place called The Stone Pavement (but Gabbatha in Aramaic).

This is the disciple who is testifying about these [things], and who has written down these [things]. And we know that his testimony is true.

Now there are also many other [things] that Jesus did, which--if they were written down one after the other--I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
