"'''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.   

"'''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.   

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.
