"'''Son of Man'''" is a common mistranslation that obscures Jesus's divinity.  [[Jesus]] used an artful phrase to describe his divinity without committing the capital offense of blasphemy, which would have terminated His ministry before it completed.   

"'''Son of Man'''" is the literal translation of the [[Greek]] phrase '''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''.  [[Jesus]] used an artful phrase to describe his divinity without committing the capital offense of blasphemy, which would have terminated His ministry before it completed.   

A better translation that includes the divinity would be "'''''The Son as Man'''''."<ref>Other possible translations are "The Son, a human being," "The Son, a man," or "The Son became Man" (but the latter would commit blasphemy, however, which Jesus needed to avoid at the outset of his ministry).</ref>  In other words, '''''simply replace "of" with "as" and the proper implication of divinity is restored''''', without committing blasphemy under the strict rules of the time.
