'Men' in the Bible

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived unexpectedly in Jerusalem,

Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been outwitted by the wise men, flew into a rage. He gave orders to massacre all the male children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, in keeping with the time he had learned from the wise men.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

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

When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

Then the men who tended them fled. They went into the city and reported everything—especially what had happened to those who were demon-possessed.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

When He entered the house, the blind men approached Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they answered Him.

“Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

Now those who ate were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.

When the men of that place recognized Him, they alerted the whole vicinity and brought to Him all who were sick.

They worship Me in vain,teaching as doctrines the commands of men.”

Now those who ate were 4,000 men, besides women and children.

As they were meeting in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

To those men he said, ‘You also go to my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.

‘These last men put in one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day and the burning heat!’

But Jesus called them over and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and the men of high position exercise power over them.

There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or from men?”They began to argue among themselves, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”

“He will completely destroy those terrible men,” they told Him, “and lease his vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at the harvest.”

Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left.

The high priest then stood up and said to Him, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

The guards were so shaken from fear of him that they became like dead men.
