According to the Gospels, Jesus often referred to himself as the ‘son of Adam’. Jesus made referrals to himself as the ‘son of Adam’ while healing and exorcizing demons. ... The third way he uses the term ‘son of Adam’ is when he is telling of what is to come after his death, which is the Apocalypse (Mark 8:38). While reading passages from the gospels, I noticed that in some verses Jesus talks about himself as if he is a common man, a simple human. ... Yet in other passages, he talks of apocalyptic times and tells his followers to prepare for his return. (Q 12:40)
Jesus refers to the ‘son of Adam’ in the present tense, in Mark 2:10, when he forgives the paralytic of his sins.
