'Man' in the Bible

Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.

But I say to you, any man who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

"Therefore, everyone who listens to these messages of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.

"Everyone who keeps on hearing these messages of mine and never puts them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

because I, too, am a man under authority and I have soldiers under me. I say to one of them "Go' and he goes, to another "Come' and he comes, and to my servant "Do this' and he does it."

Jesus told him, "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest."

The men were amazed. "What kind of man is this?" they asked. "Even the winds and the sea obey him!"

All at once some people brought him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he told the paralyzed man, "Be courageous, son! Your sins are forgiven."

But so you will know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"" he told the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home!"

So the man got up and went home.

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's desk and told him, "Follow me." So he got up and followed him.

As the men were going out, a man who couldn't talk because he was demon-possessed was brought to him.

As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

So when they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, because I tell all of you with certainty that you will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

I came to turn "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fancy clothes live in kings' houses.

This is the man about whom it is written, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Absolved from every act of sin, is wisdom by her kith and kin."

for the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

Suddenly, a man with a paralyzed hand appeared. The people asked Jesus if it was lawful to heal on Sabbath days, intending to accuse him of doing something wrong.

But he asked them, "Is there a man among you who, if he had one sheep and it fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldn't take hold of it and pull it out?

Then he told the man, "Hold out your hand." He held it out and it became normal, as healthy as his other hand.

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to talk was brought to him. Jesus healed him so that the man could speak and see.

All the crowds were amazed and kept saying, "This man isn't the Son of David, is he?"

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man drives out demons only by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons."

How can someone go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man? Then he can ransack his house.

Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come."

because just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

He asked the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"

He presented another parable to them: "The kingdom from heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

He presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom from heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

He answered, "The person who sowed good seed is the Son of Man,

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes others to sin and those who practice lawlessness

"The kingdom from heaven is like treasure hidden in a field that a man found and hid. In his excitement he went and sold everything he had and bought that field."

He went to his hometown and began teaching the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were amazed and asked, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?

And his sisters are all with us, aren't they? So where did this man get all these things?"

When Jesus had come to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done.

I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Don't tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

Some Pharisees came to him in order to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"

and said, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with 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 never separate."

His disciples asked him, "If that is the relationship of a man with his wife, it's not worth getting married!"

Just then a man came up to Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what good deed should I do to have eternal life?"

The young man asked him, "Which ones?"

The young man told him, "I have kept all of these. What do I still lack?"

But when the young man heard this statement he went away sad, because he had many possessions.

Jesus told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel.

Take what is yours and go. I want to give this last man as much as I gave you.

"See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death.

That's the way it is with the Son of Man. He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

because just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all "the tribes of the land will mourn' when they see "the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven' with power and great glory.

In the same way, when you see all these things, you'll know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door.

because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.

They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting."

"Similarly, it is like a man going on a trip, who called his servants and turned his money over to them.

To one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip.

"Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, "Master, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you haven't planted and gathering where you haven't scattered any seed.

Then the master said, "Take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents,

He said, "Go to a certain man in the city and say to him, "The Teacher says, "My time is near. I will celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house."'"

He replied, "The man who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him. How terrible it will be for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

Then he came back to the disciples and told them, "You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him."

and stated, "This man said, "I can destroy the sanctuary of God and rebuild it in three days.'"

Jesus told him, "You have said so. Nevertheless I tell you, from now on you will see "the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power' and "coming on the clouds of heaven.'"

As he went out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, "This man was with Jesus from Nazareth."

Later that evening, a rich man arrived from Arimathea. His name was Joseph, and he had become a disciple of Jesus.

All of a sudden, there was a man in their synagogue who had an unclean spirit! He screamed,

At this, the unclean spirit shook the man, cried out with a loud voice, and came out of him.

He told the man, "Be sure that you don't tell anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.

when some people came and brought him a paralyzed man being carried by four men.

Since they couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof over the place where he was. They dug through it and let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

When Jesus saw their faith, he told the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

"Why does this man talk this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

"Which is easier: to say to the paralyzed man, "Your sins are forgiven,' or "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk'?

But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"" Then he told the paralyzed man,
