'Man' in the Bible

So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly.

But He answered, “It is written:Man must not live on bread alonebut on every word that comesfrom the mouth of God.”

What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.

But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

Right away a man with a serious skin disease came up and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this?—even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He told the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So he got up and followed Him.

Just as they were going out, a demon-possessed man who was unable to speak was brought to Him.

When the demon had been driven out, the man spoke. And the crowds were amazed, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?

A man is worth far more than a sheep, so it is lawful to do what is good on the Sabbath.”

Then He told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored, as good as the other.

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to Him. He healed him, so that the man could both speak and see.

When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “The man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”

He replied: “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather from His kingdom everything that causes sin and those guilty of lawlessness.

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

What will it benefit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will reward each according to what he has done.

I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

“But I tell you: Elijah has already come, and they didn’t recognize him. On the contrary, they did whatever they pleased to him. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?”

and He also said:“For this reason a man will leavehis father and motherand be joined to his wife,and the two will become one flesh?

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

His disciples said to Him, “If the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it’s better not to marry!”

“I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack?”

When the young man heard that command, he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

“Listen to another parable: There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. He leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.

And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.

“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be:

This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

“For it is just like a man going on a journey. He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them.

But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.

The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’

“Then the man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed.

Then one of the Twelve—the man called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests

“Go into the city to a certain man,” He said, “and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with My disciples.’”

The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

stated, “This man said, ‘I can demolish God’s sanctuary and rebuild it in three days.’”
