The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.
He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” And many believed in him there.
Comment: The Jewish leaders state clearly that they are looking to stone Jesus because He is a blasphemer. Their charge was correct if He was not Who He claimed to be. In Psalm 82 it uses the word gods for those whom God has given positions of authority. So Jesus argues if God says ‘gods’ for mere men with authority why are they upset because He uses the term for the one Whom God has sent down from heaven. Whilst the leaders sought to arrest Him, when He went out to the countryside we are told ‘And many believed in him there.‘
Prayer: I believe, help my unbelief.
As I read it!
