'Man' in the Bible

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

This man came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe [in Christ, the Light] through him.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

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

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John answered them, "I am baptizing with water, but among you stands a man whom you do not know,

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God."

Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the man about whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the man in charge of the banquet." So they did.

When the man in charge of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine (without knowing where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called for the bridegroom

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

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.

so they went to John and told him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified look, he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!"

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal [of approval] to this: God is true [and he knows that God cannot lie].

“For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."

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 this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

Jesus seeing this man lying there, and knowing that he was in that state now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It’s illegal for you to pick up your mat.”

He replied, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

That man John was a lamp that burns and brightly shines, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.

glory from man I do not receive,

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. Yet if another man comes in his own name, you will accept him.

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

They kept asking, "Is not this man Joseph's son? Is he not Jesus, whose father and mother we know? What does he mean by now saying, 'I have come down out of Heaven'?"

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

The Jewish leaders kept looking for him at the festival, asking, "Where is that man?"

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

Some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill?

Yet here he is, speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to him. Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

Others were saying, "This man is the Christ!" But others were saying, "No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, [does he]?

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

And every man went unto his own house.

When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
