33. They answered, “We are not killing you for any good thing you did. But you say things that insult God. You are only a man, but you say you are the same as God! That is why we are trying to kill you!”
34. Jesus answered, “It is written in your law that God said, ‘I said you are gods.’
35. This Scripture called those people gods—the people who received God’s message. And Scripture is always true.
36. So why do you accuse me of insulting God for saying, ‘I am God’s Son’? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.
37. If I don’t do what my Father does, then don’t believe what I say.
