Best Answer

The word "son" means a male child or descendant, whether in a text from The Bible or anywhere else. The actual word "son" is the English translation of the Hebrew word for son in the Old Testament, and the Greek word "son" in the New Testament. There is no hidden or mystical or special meaning beyond the common sense of the word. A "son of Abraham" is Abraham's male offspring (or descendant.) The "son of Mary," is Mary's male child (or descendant.)
