'Man' in the Bible

Do not work for food that perishes but for food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him."

Then the Jewish leaders debated angrily with each other, asking, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

So Jesus told them, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before?

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.

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

And there was a great deal of discussion about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," while others were saying, "No, he is deceiving the crowds!"

The Jewish leaders were astonished and remarked, "How can this man be so educated when he has never gone to school?"

Moses gave you circumcision not that it is from Moses, but from the Patriarchs and so you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began saying, "This is the man they are trying to kill, isn't it?

We know where this man comes from. But when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

However, many in the crowd believed in him. They kept saying, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than this man has done, will he?"

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?

The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like that!"

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

So Jesus told them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.

As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.

Then the neighbors and those who had previously seen him as a beggar said, "This is the man who used to sit and beg, isn't it?"

He said, "The man named Jesus made some mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, "Go to Siloam and wash.' So off I went and washed, and I received my sight."

They asked him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I don't know!"

So they brought to the Pharisees the man who had once been blind.

Some of the Pharisees began to remark, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a sinful man perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So they asked the formerly blind man again, "What do you say about him, since it was your eyes he healed?" He said, "He is a prophet."

The Jewish leaders did not believe that the man had been blind and had gained sight until they summoned his parents

The Jewish leaders summoned the man who had been blind a second time and told him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."

The man answered them, "This is an amazing thing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he healed my eyes.

Ever since creation it has never been heard that anyone healed the eyes of a man who was born blind.

If this man were not from God, he couldn't do anything like that."

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Others were saying, "These are not the words of a man who is demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can it?"

The Jewish leaders answered him, "We are not going to stone you for a good action, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!"

Many people came to him and kept saying, "John never performed a sign, but everything that John said about this man is true!"

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

But some of them said, "Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?"

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them, "Untie him, and let him go."

So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.

You don't realize that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed."

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

Jesus told them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

So Simon Peter motioned to this man to ask Jesus about whom he was speaking.

After Judas had gone out, Jesus said, "The Son of Man is now glorified, and God has been glorified by him.

If God has been glorified by him, God himself also will glorify the Son of Man, and he will do so quickly.

They answered him, "Jesus from Nazareth." Jesus told them, "I AM." Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

Caiaphas was the person who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one man die for the people.

Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "I saw you in the garden with Jesus, didn't I?"

It is his name that is, by faith in his name that has healed this man whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.

If we are being questioned today for a good deed done for someone who was sick or to learn how this man was healed,

you and all the people of Israel must understand that this man stands healthy before you because of the name of Jesus from Nazareth, whom you crucified, but whom God raised from the dead.
