'Son' in the Bible

Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!"

He continued, "I tell all of you the solemn truth -- you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven -- the Son of Man.

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God's wrath remains on him.

Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

Now he came again to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water wine. In Capernaum there was a certain royal official whose son was sick.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

Jesus told him, "Go home; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home.

While he was on his way down, his slaves met him and told him that his son was going to live.

Then the father realized that it was the very time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live," and he himself believed along with his entire household.

So Jesus answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

Furthermore, the Father does not judge anyone, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming -- and is now here -- when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

and he has granted the Son authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life -- the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him."

For this is the will of my Father -- for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

and they said, "Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

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

(Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.

The slave does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.

So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.

They asked the parents, "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"

So his parents replied, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

When Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness will not lead to death, but to God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

She replied, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world."

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

Then the crowd responded, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, that he should betray Jesus.

Jesus replied, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread after I have dipped it in the dish." Then he dipped the piece of bread in the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you --

The Jewish leaders replied, "We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!"

So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, here is your son!"

But these are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Jesus said a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Shepherd my sheep."

Jesus said a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and said, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep.
