10:34-36 Where in scripture are men called Gods?
(Cp Psa 82:1-8). The word gods in this passage is used of earthly judges who represent God (CP Ex 7:1; 21:6; 22:7-9, 28).
God and Judges in those scriptures are both from the same Hebrew word elohim, which is used in scripture of the supreme God; of gods in the ordinary sense, and of magistrates and judges. In Jn 10:34-36 Jesus is saying,
"If ordinary judges were called gods, why should it be blasphemous of me to claim Deity who am the Son of God, and one with God?" Jesus' assertion in V35 "…and the scripture cannot be broken," affirms the absolute accuracy and authority of scripture.
