Man

Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

…saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

…and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people.

There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

…children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”

No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”

“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”

“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.

One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

…so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

And 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 the Son of Man.

Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

Then what will happen if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before?

Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”

The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

…and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
