'People' in the Bible

He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.

Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing.

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.

I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony.

If I have told you people about earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."

You people worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.

But a time is coming -- and now is here -- when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers.

God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

Then the woman left her water jar, went off into the town and said to the people,

So Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders you will never believe!"

A great number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways.

so that all people will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,

"I do not accept praise from people,

Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?"

"Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?"

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten.

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, "This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He is a good man," but others, "He deceives the common people."

Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, "Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach them.

Jesus answered, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you people do not know where I came from or where I am going.

You people judge by outward appearances; I do not judge anyone.

Jesus replied, "You people are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.

While he was saying these things, many people believed in him.

You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."

You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, 'He is our God.'

Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, "Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

He answered, "I told you already and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don't want to become his disciples too, do you?"

Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words.

If those people to whom the word of God came were called 'gods' (and the scripture cannot be broken),

so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was intensely moved in spirit and greatly distressed.

Thus the people who had come to mourn said, "Look how much he loved him!"

Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.

You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish."

Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.

for on account of him many of the Jewish people from Jerusalem were going away and believing in Jesus.

"Do not be afraid, people of Zion; look, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt!"

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)

Jesus replied, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where all the Jewish people assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"

Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed."
