John 10:33-36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
33 The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.”(A) 34 [a]Jesus answered them,(B) “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? 35 If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came, and scripture cannot be set aside, 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated[b] and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?(C)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law,(B) ‘I have said you are “gods”’[a]?(C) 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God(D) came—and Scripture cannot be set aside(E)— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart(F) as his very own(G) and sent into the world?(H) Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?(I)
