Son of man
Geza Vermes has stated that "the son of man" in the New Testament is unrelated to Hebrew Bible usages. Vermes begins with the observation that there is no example of "the" son of man in Hebrew sources and suggests that the term originates in Aramaic — ברנש - "bar nash/bar nasha". He concludes that in these sources "Son of man" is a regular expression for "man" in general and often serves as an indefinite pronoun and in none of the extant texts does "son of man" figure as a title.
