Below we have John 10:34 and a few passages preceding it:
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'?
It refers to Psalm 82:6 which reads (below is passage 6 and 7):
"I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.' But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."
I’d be interested in hearing people’s interpretation of these sections as they clearly states (from the mouth of Jesus and in one of the psalms) that we are all gods.
I think this is a passage that clearly shows that we have to see to the meaning of the words and not just take each and every word as absolute truth.
