The phrase "Son of Man" is a term used within the Bible and . It sometimes is used to refer to humanity in general (for example, [[Psalm 8]]:4-6) and sometimes for a particular man (for example [[Ezekiel 2:1]]). In [[Daniel 7]] a character who is a heavenly figure of total authority is called the Son of Man. The title was also one that [[Jesus]] commonly used for himself.
Jesus used the title "Son of Man" to show both his glory and his suffering and service. Because he was using a term that did not have a clear meaning he could use the term to move the focus away from him being a political leader, but rather to show how the Messiah, or God's anointed one with authority, was a servant.
