2. Metaphorical;

(a) as belonging to, being connected with or having the quality of that which follows (a usage mainly due to translation from a Semitic original; cf. Deiss., BS, 161ff.; Dalman, Words, 115f.; DCG, ii, 652f.): τ. πονεροῦ (διαβόλου), Matt 13,38, ApG 13,10; τ. νυμφῶνος (see: νυμφών), Matt 9,15, Mark 2,19, al.; τ. φωτός (Lft., Notes, 74), Luk 16,8, Joh 12,36, 1 Thess 5,5; τ. εἰρεήμης, Luk 10,6 γεέννης, Matt 23,15 τ. ἀπωλείας, Joh 17,12, 2 Thess 2,3; τ. αἰῶνος τούτου, Luk 16,8; 20,34; τ. ἀπειθειάς, Ef 2,2; 5,6; βροντῆς, Mark 3,17 τ. ἀναστάσεως, Luk 20,36 παρακλήσεως, ApG 4,36 τ. προφητῶν κ. τ. διαθήκης, ApG 3,25

(b) υἱὸς τ. θεοῦ (cf. Dalman, Words, 268ff.; Deiss., BS, 166f.; DB, iv, 570 ff.; DCG, ii, 654ff.), of men, as partakers of the Divine nature and of the life to come: Matt 5,9, Luk 20,36, Rom 8,14; 9,26, al.; υἱοὶ (κ. θυγατέρες) τ. ὑψίστου, Luk 6,35, 2 Kor 6,18; in an unique sense of Jesus, Matt 4,3; 8,29; 28,19, Mark 3,4, Luk 4,41, Joh 9,35; 11,27, al.; ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱ. τ. θεοῦ ζῶντος (τ. εὐλογητοῦ), Matt 16,16, Mark 14,61;

(with) (ὁ) υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (in LXX for Heb. בּן אדם, Aram, בּר אנשׁ; cf. Dalman, Words, 234ff.; DB, iv, 579ff.; DCG, ii, 659ff.; Westc., St. John, i, 74ff.; other reff. in Swete, Mk, 2:10), based on the Aram. of Dan 7,13, where the phrase, like the corresponding Heb. (as in Sl 8,5), means a man, one of the species, and indicates the human appearance of the person in question. It is used of the Messiah in Enoch, with 46, §1-4, also in II Est 13,3, 12, al. Our Lord first makes the phrase a title, using the def. art. It seems to combine the ideas of his true humanity and representative character. Exc. in ApG 7,56 and (anarth.) Åb 1,13 Åb 14,14, it is used of Jesus only by himself: Matt 8,20, Mark 2,10, Luk 5,24, Joh 1,52, al.
