Hetzelfde maar dan net ietwat anders geformuleerd.

DB The Jewish Gospels: the Story of the Jewish Christ 56 "The Blasphemy of the Son of Man"? The reasons that many Jews came to believe that Ye(ho)shu(a) was divine was because they were already expecting that the Messiah/Mashiach/Christ would be a god-man: THIS EXPECTATION WAS PART AND PARCEL OF JEWISH TRADITION! The Jews had learned this by careful reading of the Book of Daniel and understanding its visions and revelations as a prophecy of what would happen at the end of time. In that book, as we have seen several times before, the young divine figure is given sovereignty and made ruler of the world forever. I (DB) want to show that Yeshua saw himself as the divine Son of Man, and I will do so by explaining a couple of difficult passages in the second chapter of the Gospel of Mark. The Son of Man has been afforded glory and sovereign dominion over all the sublunary world, as we saw in Daniel 7 (myDi: 'divine humans - humane g ds': "The kingship & dominion & the greatness of the kingdoms UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them." While this verse comes from an interpretive framework within the chap-ter that seeks to demythologize the narrative of the Son of Man, such effort could not withstand the power of the verses earlier in the chapter in which the divinity of the Son of Man is so clearly marked. In Mark 2:5-10 we read the following: 'And when Yeshu saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins except the one God?" And immediately Yeshu, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - he said to the paralytic ...' "But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins." The Son of Man has authority (obviously delega-ted by God) to do God's work of the forgiving of sins on earth. This claim is derived from Daniel 7:14, in which we read that the one like a son of man has been given "authority, glory, kingship" - indeed, an "authority that is eternal that will not pass away." The term that we conventionally translate as "authority" in its New Testament contexts, esonoia, is exactly the same term that translates the Aramaic shilton in the Septuagint, namely, "sovereignty" or "dominion." THAT is, what Yeshu is claiming for the Son of Man is exactly what has been granted to the one like a son of man in Daniel; Yeshua rests his claim on the ancient text quite directly. According to this tradition, then, Yeshua claims to be the Son of Man to whom divine authority on earth "under the heavens" (Daniel 7:27) has been delegated. The sovereign, moreover, is the one who has the power to declare exceptions to the Law!
