To apply that which hath been said of this title, it is without all exception clear, that by the Son of Man, is here meant Christ Jesus. For Christ never attributeth this title to any but to himself. Besides, sin and blasphemy (which is here said to be committed against the Son of Man) is not properly committed against a mere man.
