'Man' in the Bible

Jesus asked the man, "What's your name?"

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Meanwhile, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demon-possessed man was delivered.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

"Go home and tell what God has done for you." So the man left and kept proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

While He was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official’s house came and said [to Jairus], “Your daughter is dead; do not inconvenience the Teacher any further.”

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.
