In Scripture, Jesus is first called "Son of God" by Satan, in the form of a challenge:

Matthew 4:3 - Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

Matthew 4:6 - and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "

[Interestingly, Jesus had not claimed to be the son of God prior to this; He first refers to God as "My Father" in Matthew 7:21. What Satan challenged had not yet been claimed or revealed to man.]

The next time Jesus is called "Son of God" is in acknowledgment of the fact; and it is spoken by demons, demonstrating that other spirit beings knew exactly who Jesus was.

Matthew 8:28, 29 - When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out, saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

The first time men call Jesus the Son of God is recorded in Matthew 14:33, after Jesus saved Peter from drowning and calmed the sea: Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."
