'Man' in the Bible

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.'

He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

and because he didn't need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven.

"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me."

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your mat, and walk'?"

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn't do this.

Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."

The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."

Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"

So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you."

Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
