"'''Son of Man'''" is how [[Jesus]] frequently referred to himself, a translation of the Greek ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου used by the [[KJB]] and every other traditional translation.  But according to the [[CBP]], something is lost in the translation.  The most accurate English translation of the Greek ("ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου") would be (literally) "the Son, a human being" or (including the obvious implication) "the Son of God, His human being."  Other possible translations would be "God as a man," "Son of Man from God," "God became man," "God descended as man," or "Christ, Son of [[God]]."  John 9:35 does not make sense as merely "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"  A fuller translation would be, "Do you believe in the Son of God, His human being?"

Notice that the ancient Greek did not have the punctuation of a comma to convey meaning, as English does.
