Jesus was much more than a "mystical teacher of the path to enlightenment" in the synoptics. He performed miracles, claimed to be the messiah, accepted worship, claimed to be the Lord of the Sabbath, etc. He was not just a teacher.
Who did he say was lord of the sabbath? (Mt 12:8, Mk 2:28, Lk 6:5)
...who's the son of man?
As already noted:
Daniel 7
13 “I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
