In late Judaism and the New Testament, the phrase "flesh and blood" is used to mean man in his perishable nature, the condition taken up by the Son of God in coming down to earth. But except for this usage, the Bible speaks only of spilled blood (cruor), always connected with the loss or sacrifice of life. Greek thought, by contrast, connected blood (sanguis) with man's generation and his emotional life.
