I don't think he even thought of himself as the Son of Man. The three synoptic gospels do have a few traces of deifying JC and certainly of having him claim to be the Son of Man. However, I doubt that comes from the original disciples.
"Son of man" ... what meaneth it????
Quote:In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.Jesus frequently uses the term Son of Man and in the apocalyptic pronouncements with the phrase "with the clouds of heaven." It usually appears to be a third person reference, but in a few places the term is identified with Jesus as in Matthew 8:19 "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." I think these were inserted by the gospel writers.
