Q

In the New Testament Gospels, Jesus uses the term “son of man” in which three different ways?

On some occasions he uses it simply as a circumlocution for himself; that is, rather than referring directly to himself, Jesus sometimes speaks obliquely of “the son of man”

he sometimes uses it to speak of his impending suffering

he occasionally uses the term with reference to a cosmic figure who is coming to bring the judgment of God at the end of time
