A:To the ancients, it was not so unusual to be called the son of god. Tradition held that Emperor Augustus was the son of the god Apollo, and even Alexander the great was the son of a god. After the Senate formally declared Claudius a god (divus - not deus, a true god), Nero called himself "son of god". It was natural and almost inevitable for any great man to be considered asa possible son of a god. Christians soon saw that for Jesus, this appelation was very special. For them, Jesus was the only son of the only God.

Today, calling Jesus the son of God is to recognise his divinity.

Why in Mark's Gospel do the Jews say truly you are the Son of God?

In Mark's Gospel, only outsiders call Jesus the Son of God. Another example occurs in Mark 3:11-12, when the demons fall down and call Jesus the Son of God, but Jesus is quick to instruct them to tell no one, thus no more than an implied admission. In Mark 15:39, the centurion also exclaims, "Truly this man was the Son of God."
