The Gospel of Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew is the first book listed in the New Testament and was written by one of Jesus' disciples who at one time was a tax collector. As we had been studying the book of Daniel in house church the phrase in son of man (a reference to Jesus) stood out to me... Daniel 7:13-14
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a] coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

i then began to read Matthew looking for other times this title was used for Jesus.  i found over 2 dozen times and each time fills out more of who Jesus is and his love for us.
here are the places in Matthew's gospel where "son of man" are found.
