A peculiar appellation of Christ, expressing his eternal relationship to the Father, Ps 2:7Da 3:25Lu 1:35Joh 1:18,34. Christ always claimed to be the only-begotten Son of the Father, Mt 4:3 8:29 27:54 Joh 3:16-18; and the Jews rightly understood him as thus making himself equal with God, Joh 5:18 10:30-33.
