"'''Son of Man'''" is how [[Jesus]] frequently referred to himself, but 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?", and the Greek manuscripts disagree at this verse, some stating "Son of Man" (ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου), others "Son of God" (ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ). A fuller translation would be, "Do you believe in the Son of God, is human being?"

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