Ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου

ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου

The Son of Man (term used by Jesus to refer to himself, recalling a reference in Daniel. Many places e.g. John 3:13). υἱὸς (son) is in the nominative case, used as the subject of a sentence. τοῦ ἀνθρώπου will always be in the genitive case, of course; "of Man". The phrase also occurs with υἱὸς in the other cases. For example:


 * Accusative: τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (the angles of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man, John 1:51)
 * Genitive: τὴν σάρκα τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (the flesh of the Son of Man, John 6:53)
