NASB | Matthew 8:20 Jesus *said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 8:20 Jesus replied to him, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." [Dan 7:13; Mark 8:31, 38; Luke 12:8; John 1:51; Acts 7:56] |
Bible Question: What does the Jesus' self-designation "Son of Man" really mean. I understand that it does not refer to His humanity but rather His deity in relation to the Kingdom of God, but am having trouble wrapping my head around it. |
Bible Answer: Jesus' use of the term "son of man" also has a double meaning. It is used as Ezekiel used it when he quotes God saying to him "son of man, write...." Thus Jesus identifies Himself with humanity in his humanity. ANd in reference to Daniel 7:13-14 Jesus is referring to his Divinity. The Daniel reference is fulfilled in Jesu's Ascension into heaven in glory, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father. Stephen uses this allusio when he has his vision as he is being stoned in Acts 7;54-60. |
