> Matthew 8:19-20: 'And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, the foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.'

Some critics argue that Jesus here speaks of 'human beings' generically and not Himself. This is incorrect, as the class of not having a place to lay one's head is not a characteristic of human beings as a whole. The response is made to a person asking to follow Jesus on His ministry effort, which was a traveling affair. Extracting 'Son of Man' from Daniel 7 as a divine title of royalty and applying it here is consistent with Jesus referring to His specific role.
