'Real' in the Bible

In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the real leader in Israel. The Lord said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over Israel.'"

The real mother spoke up to the king, for her motherly instincts were aroused. She said, "My master, give her the living child! Whatever you do, don't kill him!" But the other woman said, "Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two!"

Look, all of them are nothing, their accomplishments are nonexistent; their metal images lack any real substance.

If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest go about their own business in the land without having any real understanding.'"

(Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)

Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
