→‎Literal Translation: An overly wooden, word-for-word translation of "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''" would be "'''the Son of Man'''"

== 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).

An overly wooden, word-for-word translation of "'''ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου'''" would be "'''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"). 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]].
