Jesus addresses the Jewish leaders who accuse Him of blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of God. He cites Psalm 82:6, where God refers to certain individuals as "gods" due to their roles as judges or leaders. This reference serves to remind His accusers that their own scriptures recognize a divine-like authority bestowed upon humans. Jesus uses this to argue that if scripture can call humans "gods," then His claim to be the Son of God should not be seen as blasphemous. This verse encourages believers to explore the idea that humans are made in God's image and have a special role in His creation. It invites reflection on the nature of divinity and authority, urging a deeper understanding of how God's presence can manifest in human lives. By challenging the leaders' narrow interpretation, Jesus opens the door for a broader, more inclusive view of God's work in the world and in each person.
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’?”
