„Syn Boży” i „Syn Człowieczy” w chrystologii źródła Q

Abstract

The title “Son of God” appears in Q only in the pericope about the tempting of Christ (Luke 4,1-13). Jesus only and exclusive relation to the Father is a significant point of confrontation between Jesus and his opponent. Contrary to Israel carried across the desert like the Son by his Father (Deut 1, 31; 8, 5) and again and again succumbing to temptations, Jesus proves to be a true “Son of God” behaving according to God's orders; the only Obedient one. The title “Son” in Q (Luke 10, 21) finds its roots in the wisdom circle. Pronouncements about the Father, typical of Jesus, have affected the understanding of Sonship in the sense of mutual cognition and in consequence in the sense of revelation. After discussing the ideological context of the phrase “Son of Man” the author analyses Jesus' pronouncements concerning the Son of Man. They point to the Son of Man acting on Earth and to the Son of Man appearing at he judgement. The article is concluded with a review of opinions about the historical authenticity of the discussed statements. Acceptance of the substantial authenticity of the statements concerning the Son of Man seems justified, although the influence of a Christian hand is not ruled out.
