−
The literal, word-for-word translation of "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''" is "'''the Son of Man'''", as τοὺ ἀνθρώπου is the genitive of ὁ ἄνθρωπος - ''(the) man'' - similar to the phrase "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ'''", which is generally translated as "'''the Son of God'''. But in English the overly literal translation as "the Son of Man" is incoherent, and the phrase interferes with the clear logic of the important passage surrounding [[John 3:16]].
