Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

31 Then (B)the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for (C)blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, (D)make Yourself God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, (E)‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, (F)to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture (G)cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him (H)whom the Father sanctified and (I)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ (J)because I said, ‘I am (K)the Son of God’?

31 The Jews (B)picked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus replied to them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for (C)blasphemy; and because You, being a man, (D)make Yourself out to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in (E)your (F)Law: ‘(G)I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified), 36 are you saying of Him whom the Father (H)sanctified and (I)sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘(J)I am the Son of God’?

30 I and the Father are One [in essence and nature].”

31 Again the Jews picked up stones to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works [and many acts of mercy] from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, “We are not going to stone You for a good work, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere man, make Yourself out to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods [human judges representing God, not divine beings]’?(A) 35 If He [a]called them gods, men to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be undone or annulled or broken), 36 [if that is true] then do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and set apart for Himself and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

  1. John 10:35 This statement in Ps 82:6 is addressed to the ruling judges of Israel, who were supposed to serve as God’s representatives on earth. Jesus’ argument (v 36) is that since He is in fact proving Himself to be the Father’s representative on earth, He is entitled to be recognized as the Son of God.

30 I and the Father are one.”(A)

31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,(B) 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”

33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”(C)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(D) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[a]?(E) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(F) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(G) 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(H) as his very own(I) and sent into the world?(J) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(K)

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

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.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

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?
