ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Son of man

So, "son of man" is a phrase that is used in the Bible to talk about a person who is human, like you and me. But it can also be used to talk about someone who is really special, like a king or a prophet.

Some people believe that when the Bible talks about "the son of man", it is talking about Jesus. And they think that this means Jesus was both fully human like us, but also really special and important.

But whether or not you believe that, the important thing to remember is that "son of man" means a person who is like us, but also maybe a lot more special than we realize.
