The following is
worthy of note as it is a direct argument with the religious
leaders regarding Jesus' substance, being and identity and
so, in context, it deals with the very nature of Jesus.
Jhn 10:33 The
Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but
for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself
God. "Here
Jesus is accused (falsely though) of making himself ![]()
![]()
![]()
God."
Jhn 10:34 Jesus
answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are
gods?
"Jesus answers his false accusers by refering to Psalm 82
and says that even God referred to humans as ![]()
![]()
![]()
gods"
Jhn 10:35 If he
called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
scripture cannot be broken; "These
![]()
![]()
"gods" were even the subject of God's
animosity and they are still gods"
Jhn 10:36 Say
ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the
world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of
God? "Here
he clarifies what he really said (and not what they were accusing
him of saying) that he is ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
the Son of The God" How
much clearer can God's word make it.
