| Zusammenfassung: | The Synoptic Gospels represent Jesus as calling himself the "Son of Man." The contention of this article is that Jesus did not use this self-designation. 1. The Synoptic Gospels represent Jesus as attempting to avoid being known as "the Messiah." This conflicts with his use of a title which carried an unmistakable messianic meaning. 2. In certain instances the phrase belongs to an editorial observation which has become a part of Jesus' conversation. 3. Sometimes the phrase is inserted by Matthew or Luke into a passage from Mark which is without it. Occasionally these insertions alter or spoil the original meaning of the passage. 4. In many passages common to Matthew and Luke and not found in Mark, one of the later evangelists lacks the phrase where the other has it. 5. In other instances where the phrase is common to Matthew and Luke, the passage bears evidence of later working over. In other passages the phrase is textually suspicious. If Jesus did not call himself the Son of Man, did he entertain the idea of his messiahship and of his parousia which the church attributed to him? |
