Bible – Son Of God
Excerpt:
The Parable of the Wicked Tenants
(Mark 12:1–12; Luke 20:9–18)
33Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
34When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit. 35But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
37Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
41“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
42Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is from the Lord,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’k?
43Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.l”
45When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them. 46Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
Question: What are the chances that scribes altered this section by ADDING lines 37 and 38 (which presents Jesus as son of god), because even if we read the whole text without these 2 lines it makes perfect sense (God is about to punish Bani Israel by taking away His kingdom from them and replacing with a new nation). Also at the end, in line 46, the verse itself states that people believed him to be a prophet and not God’s son.

Son of god is used for pious men and prophets many times
In Old Testament both Israel AS and Solomon AS r called son of god
After St Paul, son of god in the New Testament had been interpreted literally rather than a metaphor for piety
