'Man' in the Bible

Just as Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him.

Jesus had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down a steep slope into the sea and drowned there.

When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

The people who had seen it told them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging him to let him go with him.

So the man left and began proclaiming in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was utterly amazed.

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were utterly amazed. "Where did this man get all these things?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What great miracles are being done by his hands!

because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John, he did much of what he said. In fact, he liked listening to him.

Some people brought him a deaf man who also had a speech impediment. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

As they came to Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch him.

Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spit into his eyes, placed his hands on him, and asked him, "Do you see anything?"

The man looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like trees walking around."

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he would be killed, but after three days he would rise again.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in his Father's glory."

On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

He told them, "Elijah is indeed coming first and will restore all things. Why, then, is it written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be treated shamefully?

A man in the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that won't let him talk.

because he was teaching his disciples, "The Son of Man will be betrayed into human hands. They will kill him, but after being dead for three days he will be raised."

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

They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to divorce her."

That's why "a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate."

And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

As Jesus was setting out again, a man ran up to him, knelt down in front of him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

The man replied to him, "Teacher, I have obeyed all of these since I was a young man."

Shocked at this statement, the man went away sad, because he had many possessions.

Once again, Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they'll condemn him to death. Then they'll hand him over to the unbelievers,

because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

Then Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man told him, "Rabbouni, I want to see again."

Jesus told him, "Go. Your faith has made you well." At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.

Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went abroad.

Again, the man sent another servant to them. They beat the servant over the head and treated him shamefully.

Then the man sent another, and that one they killed. So it was with many other servants. Some of these they beat, and others they killed.

When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

Then people will see "the Son of Man coming in clouds' with great power and glory.

In the same way, when you see these things taking place, you will know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door.

It's like a man who went on a trip. As he left home, he put his servants in charge, each with his own work, and he ordered the doorkeeper to be alert.

He sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him.

For the Son of Man is going away, just as it has been written about him, but 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."

He came back a third time. "Are you still sleeping and resting?" he asked. "Enough of that! The time has come. Look! The Son of Man is being 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 lead him safely away."

A certain young man, who was wearing nothing but a linen sheet, was following Jesus. When the men grabbed him,

Jesus said, "I AM, and "you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and "coming with the clouds of heaven.'"

The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

Then he began to invoke a divine curse and to swear with an oath, "I don't know this man you're talking about!"

Now there was a man in prison named Barabbas. He had been with the insurgents who had committed murder during the rebellion.

So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call "the King of the Jews'?"

When the centurion who stood facing Jesus saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, he said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were utterly astonished.

Then Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this, since I am an old man, and my wife is getting older?"

to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

Mary asked the angel, "How can this happen, since I have not had relations with a man?"

Now a man named Simeon was in Jerusalem. This man was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the one who would comfort Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

When the days of the festival were over, they left for home. The young man Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.

In the synagogue was a man who had a demon. He screamed with a loud voice,

But Jesus rebuked him. "Be quiet," he said, "and come out of him!" At this, the demon threw the man down in the middle of the synagogue and came out of him without hurting him.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, "Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!" -

One day, while Jesus was in one of the cities, a man covered with leprosy saw Jesus and fell on his face, begging him, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

Some men were bringing a paralyzed man on a stretcher. They were trying to take him into the house and place him in front of Jesus.

The scribes and the Pharisees began to argue among themselves, saying, "Who is this man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

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

So the man immediately stood up in front of them and picked up what he had been lying on. Then he went home, praising God.

Then he told them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

Once, on another Sabbath, Jesus went into a synagogue and began teaching. A man whose right hand was paralyzed was there.

But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Get up, and stand in the middle of the synagogue." So he got up and stood there.

He looked around at all of them and then told the man, "Hold out your hand." The man did so, and his hand was restored to health.

"How blessed are you whenever people hate you, avoid you, insult you, and slander you because of the Son of Man!

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

As he approached the entrance to the city, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.

Then he went up and touched the bier, and the men who were carrying it stopped. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"

The man who had been dead sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? Look! Those who wear fine clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces.

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 has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look! He's a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and told himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!"

Those who were at the table with them began to say among themselves, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?"

Then he asked the disciples, "Where's your faith?" Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, "Who is this man? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!"

When Jesus stepped out on the shore, a man from the city met him. This man was controlled by demons and had not worn clothes for a long time. He did not live in a house but in the tombs.

because Jesus was in the process of ordering the unclean spirit to come out of the man. On many occasions the unclean spirit had seized the man, and though he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into deserted places.

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

Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down a steep slope into the lake and drowned.

So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

The people who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

Now the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging Jesus to let him go 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.

Herod said, "I beheaded John. But who is this man I'm hearing so much about?" So Herod kept trying to see Jesus.

He said, "The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised."

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

Suddenly, a man in the crowd shouted, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, because he is my only child.

"Listen carefully to these words. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."

While they were walking along the road, a man told him, "I will follow you wherever you go."

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

He told another man, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

Still another man said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those at home."

But the man wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

After careful consideration, Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man, he went by on the other side.
