Both: God The Son and the Son of God.

Jesus is the son of Mary,

He never claimed to be God (in fact many times in the Bible it says that he prays to the Father in Heaven) (Father being a metaphor, rarely is scripture in plain English, it often is in the form of metaphors).

He will judge some people because he was given authority to do so by God. As well as his miracles, curing the sick, walking on water; all with the permission of God.

He is not son of God. God can create any kind of miracle he wants. For example, Adam was made without a mother or father.

Technically that is more impressive than a virgin birth, but God holds Jesus as more important than Adam not because of anything he did, but because thats what God wants.

Additionally in the Book of John, Jesus talks about a "comforter/paraclete" to come, this person is Muhammad. Muhammad praised Jesus and Mary when he was alive and spoke of Jesus' return.

Unfortunately many of the early Christian scholars/disciples had incorrectly relayed the stories and ideas of Jesus. They were used to the whole Roman, Greek god system. So hence the Son of God concept.

Acts 7:56-59
Stephan said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord.....and they stoned Stephan....."

And frankly those who embrace doctrines of men have been stopping their ears and crying out ever since.

The answer to your question is Both. The Book of John is replete with the knowledge of this. It was the Greek philosophy that crept into the early church which introduced the idea of the Trinity but from the beginning it was not so.

In Hebrew the word 'EL means God and the word 'ELOHIM means GODS. The Torah reads," In the beginning THE GODS created the heaven and the earth."

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus was God and is God since the beginning. The Word is Jesus but his earthly flesh was not born until 2,000 years ago.
Jesus created the heaven and the earth because he was the word.

The "Son of God" (Daniel 3:25) was a title for the Meshiach who was to come. He was also prophesied to be God come in the flesh as prophesied in the scriptures (verified by the Sanhedrin in Matthew 26:63).

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

There are two beings. God the Father and his Son, Jesus, also a God. They are one in purpose, but have their own bodies & spirits similar to other beings, only perfected.

John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!

He is both depending on the context.

There are many verses in the Bible that make it clear there is a God different than Jesus.

-Quoted from an article (cited below):
God bore witness of Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, on several occasions. He spoke at Jesus’s baptism: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Jesus Himself testified of God, His Father, when He said, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” After Jesus’s death and Resurrection, we learn that Stephen, “he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.”
-End of quote from article

There are other verses that can create confusion, but as you understand the true nature of God, these can easily be cleared up.

For example, you could correctly say there is only one God in one sense because God the Father is in charge. In John 5:30 Jesus says, "... I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

The concept of the Trinity where somehow there are 3 persons, but one in substance, came from the Nicene Creed and Constantinople councils and is not correct.
