The Man, Jesus Christ .....
Jesus the Christ the Son of the Living God
John 8 (Jesus speaking)
40But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God; Abraham did not do this!

Acts 2 (Peter speaking)
22“You men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man pointed out to you by God by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in the midst of you, just as you yourselves know,
23this man, delivered up by the decreed plan and foreknowledge of God, you, by lawless hands, crucified and killed.

Acts 17:30-31 KJVS
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: [31] Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Romans 5 (Paul speaking)
15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if many died through the transgression of one man, much more surely did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to many.

1 Timothy 2 (Paul speaking)

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message?
To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2 For he grows up before him as a tender plant
and as a root out of dry ground.
He has no good looks or majesty.
When we see him,
there is no beauty that we should be attracted to him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men;
?a man? of suffering, and one who knew sickness.
Like one from whom men hide their faces,
he is despised and we did not respect him.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness
and carried our suffering,
yet we considered him plagued,
struck by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all like sheep have gone astray.
Everyone has turned to his own way,
and Yahweh has laid on ?him?
the iniquity of us all.

Hebrews 2 - He was made like His brethren in every respect....(in fact He had to be)
14Now since the children participate fully in blood and flesh, in a similar way he also himself shared the same so that through death he could make ineffective the one who holds the power of death, that is, the Devil,e
15and free all those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.
16Indeed, it hardly needs to be said that he did not come to help angels, but to give help to the seed of Abraham.
17This being the case, he had to be made like his brothers in every respect in order to become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, so that he could wipe away the sins of the people.
18For since he himself was tempted in that which he suffered, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Hebrews 5 (He cried out with strong crying and tears and was heard by God because of His godly fear/submission)
(Also He had to learn obedience, this had to be so we can)
7In the days of his flesh, he offered up prayers and appeals with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard because of his reverent submission,
8(although he was a son, yet he learned obedience by the things that he suffered),
9and having been brought to maturity, he became the source of salvation in the age to come to all those who obey him,

1 Peter 2 (our example to follow, we can actually live like He did..)
21For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you follow in his footsteps.
22He did not commit sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.i
23When he was insulted, he did not give an insult in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to the one who judges righteously.
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we, having died to sins, could live to righteousness, by whose wounds you were healed.
