Regarding the religious use of the word ebed, “The term serves as an expression
of humility used by the righteous before God.”88 Furthermore, “After 100 B.C. pais theou
more often means “servant of God,” as when applied to Moses, the prophets, or the three

1. Jesus is assumed to be exactly what he called himself.
2. Jesus called himself “son of man.”
3. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus ever lay claim to the literal title of “son of

4. And in any case, in Jewish idiom the term “son of God” was either
metaphorical or contrary to monotheism.
5. The primary translation of the phrase pais theou is...
