What does the Bible say about Jesus as the Son of Man?

Answered in 5 sources

The phrase 'Son of Man' is used frequently by Jesus to refer to Himself, emphasizing both His humanity and His divine authority.

In the New Testament, the expression 'Son of Man' is mentioned a total of 88 times, primarily from the lips of Jesus. It serves to highlight not only His humanity but also His unique role as Messiah and His divine authority. For instance, He referred to Himself as the 'Son of Man' in conversations where He spoke of His mission, such as in John 3:14 where He said He must be 'lifted up.' This title is rich in theological significance, connecting Jesus to prophetic imagery from the Old Testament, including Daniel 7:13-14, which speaks of one like a Son of Man coming in glory and power. The usage of 'Son of Man' underscores His incarnation, identifying Him as truly human while affirming His role as the divine Son of God.
