Filho do homem
Filho do Homem é o título que Jesus mais usou para si mesmo. Ele conecta sua humanidade plena com a visão profética de Daniel sobre o Messias glorioso que receberá domínio eterno.
A profecia de Daniel
Daniel viu alguém como o Filho do Homem vindo com as nuvens do céu. Foi-lhe dado domínio, glória e reino eterno.
13 and in the midst of the candlesticks One like to a son of man, clothed with a robe down to the feet, and with a golden girdle round his breast.

56 "Look, I see heaven open," he said, "And the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."
Jesus, o Filho do Homem
O Filho do Homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido. Ele tem autoridade para perdoar pecados e julgar.

31 "But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he take his seat on the throne of his glory;
31 for he was explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,
45 and justly, for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life, a ransom for many."
24 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house."
58 "The foxes have their holes," Jesus answered, "and the wild birds have their nest, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head."
24 "For as the lightning when it lightens out of the one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
Glória e autoridade

28 so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me,
51 You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
