'Person' in the Bible
And the men were amazed and said, "What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!"
Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
The good person brings good things out of his good treasury, and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury.
"When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but does not find it.
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so the last state of that person is worse than the first. It will be that way for this evil generation as well!"
The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
The seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth choke the word, so it produces nothing.
But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown."
He presented them with another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.
What defiles a person is not what goes into the mouth; it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person."
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a person.
These are the things that defile a person; it is not eating with unwashed hands that defiles a person."
For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom they come.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!
Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."
