Some things I learn while researching for other things. I call them rabbit trails because these things lead to who know where?
The expression "Son of man" is used eighty-eight times in the New Testament, and always means the Messiah, and not man generally.
It comes from:
Daniel 7:13-14 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
The Pharisees know this verse sufficiently. That is why they were filled with "madness":
Luke 6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
