John 10:34

“Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, etc.] In the law which was given unto them, of which they boasted, and pretended to understand, and interpret, even in (<198206>Psalm 82:6); for the law includes not only the Pentateuch, but all the books of the Old Testament: it is an observation of one of the Jewish doctors f478, that “with the wise men of blessed memory, it is found in many places that the word law comprehends the Prophets and the Hagiographa.” Among which last stands the book of Psalms; and this may be confirmed by a passage out of the Talmud f479; it is asked, “from whence does the resurrection of the dead appear, hrwth ˆm, “out of the law?”” It is answered, “as it is…”

“Is it not written in your law--in Psa 82:6, respecting judges or magistrates. Ye are gods--being the official representatives and commissioned agents of God.”

“Jesus answered them - The answer of Jesus consists of two parts. The first John 10:34-36 shows that they ought not to object to his use of the word God, even if he were no more than a man. The second John 10:37-38 repeats substantially what he had before said, left the same impression, and in proof of it he appealed to his works. John 10:34 In your law - Psalms 82:6. The word “law” here, is used to include the Old Testament. I said - The Psalmist said, or God said by the Psalmist. Ye are gods - This was said of magistrates on account of the dignity and honor of their office, and it shows that the Hebrew word translated “god,” אלהים ̀elohiym, in that place might be applied to man. Such a use…”

“Psa 82:6. John 10:35”

“10:34-36 I say, you are gods! If the word god could be applied to people other than the Lord, then Jesus was not breaking the law by referring to himself in this way. Yet Jesus is not just any son of God; he is the Son of God who was sent . . . into the world.”

“in: Joh 12:34, Joh 15:25; Rom 3:10-19 I said: Psa 82:1, Psa 82:6, Psa 82:7 gods: Exo 4:16, Exo 7:1, Exo 22:28; Psa 138:1 John 10:35”
