## Definition: ##

|
|
|
The title, "Son of Man" was used by Jesus to refer to himself. He often used this term instead of saying "I" or "me."
|
|
|
|
* In the Bible, "son of man" can be a way of referring to or addressing a man. It can also mean "human being."
|
|
* Throughout the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, God frequently addresses Ezekiel as "son of man." For example he says, "You, son of man, must prophesy."
|
|
* The prophet Daniel saw a vision of a "son of man" coming with the clouds, which is a reference to the coming Messiah.
|
|
* Jesus also said that the Son of Man will be coming back someday on the clouds.
|
|
* These references to the Son of Man coming on the clouds reveal that Jesus the Messiah is God.

## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
|
|
|
* When Jesus uses the term "Son of Man," this could be translated as, "the One who became a human being" or "the Man from heaven."
|
|
* Some translators occasionally include "I" or "me" with this title (as in, "I, the Son of Man") to make it clear that Jesus is talking about himself.
|
|
* Check to make sure that the translation of this term does not give a wrong meaning (such as referring to an illegitimate son or giving the wrong impression that Jesus was only a human being).
|
|
* When used to refer to a person, "son of man" could also be translated as, "you, a human being" or "you, man" or "human being" or "man."
