'Man' in the Bible
There came a man commissioned and sent from God, whose name was John.
This man came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe [in Christ, the Light] through him.
who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].
No one has seen God [His essence, His divine nature] at any time; the [One and] only begotten God [that is, the unique Son] who is in the intimate presence of the Father, He has explained Him [and interpreted and revealed the awesome wonder of the Father].
This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I and has priority over me, for He existed before me.’
Then He said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man [the bridge between heaven and earth].”
and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being].
Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (member of the Sanhedrin) among the Jews,
Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”
Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.
No one has gone up into heaven, but there is One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man [Himself—whose home is in heaven].
Just as Moses lifted up the [bronze] serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross],
So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi (Teacher), the Man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan [at the Jordan River crossing]—and to whom you have testified—look, He is baptizing too, and everyone is going to Him!”
John replied, “A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing at all] unless it has been granted to him from heaven [for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God].
Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal [of approval] to this: God is true [and he knows that God cannot lie].
for you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. You have said this truthfully.”
“Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done! Can this be the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)?”
Jesus said to him, “Go; your son lives!” The man believed what Jesus said to him and started home.
There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked.Now that day was the Sabbath.
So the Jews kept saying to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to pick up your pallet [because it is unlawful].”
He answered them, “The Man who healed me and gave me back my strength was the One who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”
They asked him, “Who is the Man who told you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”
The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is a Son of Man [sinless humanity, qualifying Him to sit in judgment over mankind].
But the testimony I receive is not from man [a merely human witness]; but I say these things so that you may be saved [that is, have eternal life].
Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures [and leads] to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for God the Father has authorized Him and put His seal on Him.”
And Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you believe in Me as Savior and believe in the saving power of My blood which will be shed for you], you do not have life in yourselves.
What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?
There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”
Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] without formal training?”
If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority.
Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the Man they want to kill?
But we know where this Man is from; whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they kept saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs and exhibit more proofs than this Man?”
Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion [of Jews scattered and living] among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!
The guards replied, “Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!”
“Does our Law convict someone without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is [accused of] doing?”
Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”
So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man [on the cross], you will know then [without any doubt] that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own authority, but I say these things just as My Father taught Me.
But as it is, you want to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. This is not the way Abraham acted.
The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon [and are under its power]. Abraham died, and also the prophets; yet You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never, ever taste of death.’
While He was passing by, He noticed a man [who had been] blind from birth.
His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God might be displayed and illustrated in him.
We must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
So the neighbors, and those who used to know him as a beggar, said, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Some said, “It is he.” Still others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man.”
He replied, “The Man called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received my sight!”
Then they brought the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.
Then some of the Pharisees said, “This Man [Jesus] is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner (a non-observant Jew) do such signs and miracles?” So there was a difference of opinion among them.
Accordingly they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “[It must be that] He is a prophet!”
However, the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the man’s parents.
So a second time they called the man who had been [born] blind, and said to him, “Give God glory and praise [for your sight]! We know this Man [Jesus] is a sinner [separated from God].”
The man replied, “Well, this is astonishing! You do not know where He comes from, and yet He opened my eyes!
Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.
If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything [like this because God would not hear His prayer].”
Jesus heard that they had put him out [of the synagogue], and finding him, He asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
The doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it. And [knowing that they listen] he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [to pasture].
The Jews answered Him, “We are not going to stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere man, make Yourself out to be God.”
Many came to Him, and they were saying, “John did not perform a single sign (attesting miracle), but everything John said about this Man was true and accurate.”
Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.
But some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the blind man’s eyes, have kept this man from dying?”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be an offensive odor, for he has been dead four days! [It is hopeless!]”
Out came the man who had been dead, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and release him.”
So the chief priests and Pharisees convened a council [of the leaders in Israel], and said, “What are we doing? For this man performs many signs (attesting miracles).
Nor do you understand that it is expedient and politically advantageous for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified and exalted.
At this the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; how then can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
So when Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now is [the time for] the Son of Man [to be] glorified, and God is glorified in Him;
A woman, when she is in labor, has pain because her time [to give birth] has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has come into the world.

Then they all shouted back again, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and Pilate said to them, “Look! The Man!”
As a result of this, Pilate kept making efforts to release Him, but the Jews kept screaming, “If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar! Anyone who makes himself out [to be] a king opposes Caesar [and rebels against the emperor]!”
So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man [what is in his future]?”
