The reader should at least see the literal translation , and not only your "best" one.
The [[Common English Bible]], which includes a superb [[pro-life]] rendition of one controversial verse, translates the Greek for "Son of Man" as "Human One." The translators explain, with other examples, that "Greek usage often refers to 'a son of x' in the sense of 'one who has the character of ‘x.’'"<ref>https://www.biblegateway.com/blog/2011/08/son-of-man-or-human-one-tough-translation-questions-raised-by-the-common-english-bible/</ref>

== Literal Translation ==
"'''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''" literally means "'''the Son of Man'''", as τοὺ ἀνθρώπου is the genitive of ὁ ἄνθρωπος - (the) man. This parallels "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ'''", "'''the Son of God'''" (and not "the Son, a God).
