##### "Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" #####

The Jews spoke of the time between when the Babylonians forced their ancestors to go to Babylon and the time when the Messiah would come as "the times of the Gentiles," the time when the Gentiles would rule over the Jews.

##### "Son of Man" #####

Jesus refers to himself as the "Son of Man" in this chapter ([Luke 21:27](./27.md)). Your language may not allow people to speak of themselves as if they were speaking about someone else. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sonofman]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
