Son of God

This is an important title for Jesus. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)

Is not this the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who called on this name?

this name

Here "name" refers to Jesus. AT: "the name of Jesus" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
