The article refers to Mark’s Christology, that has a primitive character and expresses itself, inter alia, under the title “Son of Man”. The author presents it as a specific aspect referring to three teachings of Jesus on his dramatic fate (Mark 8, 31–32, 9, 30–32, 10, 32–34) and also in the statement of Jesus where He speaks about the giving of his life as a ransom for many (cf. Mark 10, 45). The analysed title “Son of Man” combines humiliation and glory. Mark indeed stresses in each of the three teachings that the Son of Man will resurrect by his own power. His death is a liberation of man – the slave of sin. Therefore, the Evangelist showed indirectly that in the title „Son of Man” are hidden both the humanity and divinity of Jesus, despite the fact that Mark put more emphasis on Jesus’ tormented humanity.
