[1] [2] Another view put forward by Bart D. Ehrman (1999) is that there are some passages (as such Mark 8:38, 13:26, 14:62; Matthew 19:28, 25:31–46; and Luke 12:8–9) in which Jesus mentions 'the Son of Man' and does not appear to be talking about himself, but about someone else, namely a cosmic judge who would come down from heaven to bring ...
Jesus is called a light in seven instances in the New Testament and Light of the World only in the Gospel of John. The terms "Bread of Life" and "Life of the World" are also applied by Jesus to himself in John's Gospel in the same Christological sense. [118] In John 8:12 Jesus applies the title to himself while debating with the Jews, and ...
Various later scholars have interpreted it as an agreement with Pilate, a denial of the charge, and a response that does not commit either way. [8] While others refer to Jesus with a series of titles, nowhere in Matthew does he refer to himself as messiah or king, so a direct yes in response the question would have been out of character. [9]
Second, Jesus not only thought of himself as God's Son, but also spoke of himself as sent by God. Once again, John develops the theme of the Son's mission, which is already present in sayings that at least partly go back to Jesus (Mark 9:37; [ 92 ] Matthew 15:24; [ 93 ] Luke 10:16), [ 94 ] especially in 12:6 , where it is a question of the ...
Elsewhere, in John 8:12, [16] Jesus applies 'Light of the World' to himself.

It portrays Jesus as a teacher, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker, though it does not mention a miraculous birth or divine pre-existence. [3] Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is called the Son of God but keeps his messianic nature secret; even his disciples fail to understand him. [4]
What people say: Matthew 16:13–14. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples: 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' They replied: 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' Mark 8:27–28. Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea ...
In Christian teachings, the miracles of Jesus were as much a vehicle for his message as were his words. Many of the miracles emphasize the importance of faith, for instance in cleansing ten lepers, [108] Jesus did not say: "My power has saved you" but says "Rise and go; your faith has saved you."
