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 by an author the title "Son of Man" to denote self (show both his glory and his suffering and service. Because he was using a term that isdid 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.  Jesus used the Son of Man to talk about his future glory, another word for example in [[Mark 8:38]] ("IWhen the Son of Man comes in glory") and [[Luke 22:69]] ("Son of Man will be seated at right hand of power of God"). It was He also uses the term to show his authority, for example [[Mark 2:10]] (The Son of Man has authority to forgive sins) and [[John 6:27]] (The Son of Man is the Bread of Life).  Jesus also a title used the term Son of Man to show his servant nature and that he would suffer, for example in [[JesusMark 8:31]] gave to himself.
