'Son' in the Bible

And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.

And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.

He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you.

What then will you say if you see the Son of man going up to where he was before?

Then Jesus said, Did I not make a selection of you, the twelve, and one of you is a son of the Evil One?

He was talking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. It was he who was to be false to Jesus--one of the twelve.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?

When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son!

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.
