'Birth' in the Bible

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

In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
