Old riddle, many answers, Prove your answer.

[Snattlerake]

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I HAVE NONE.

THAT MAN'S FATHER,

IS MY FATHER'S SON.

I have my answer, I will say later.

I have googled it and seen many answers and diagrams to prove them. Most of them I can't understand.

I think it would be himself.. or speaking as myself and not having brothers or sisters pointing at my SON. My Sons father (me) is MY fathers son..

Yeah it made my had hurt.

Could go a couple of ways. Either he is referring to himself as the father of the guy who's father is his father's son. Or he referring to Jesus, as God is the father of Jesus and his Father as well.

1. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I HAVE NONE. - The speaker is an only child.

2. THAT MAN'S FATHER, IS MY FATHER'S SON. - With no siblings, "MY FATHER'S SON" is the speaker.

3. So... "THAT MAN" is the speaker's son.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

In the riddle, the speaker is looking in a mirror, pointing at himself.

He's looking at a painting of his son.

The riddle doesn't say anything about the son's siblings, only his. So....

In the riddle, the speaker is looking in a mirror, pointing at himself.

Au contraire...

He's saying "THAT MAN'S FATHER" is himself (his father's son).
