This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world (hon ho patēr hēgiasen kai apesteilen eis ton kosmon). Another relative clause with the antecedent (touton, it would be, object of legete) unexpressed. Every word counts heavily here in contrast with the mere judges of Psa 82:6.
Thou blasphemest (hoti blasphēmeis). Recitative hoti again before direct quotation.
Because I said (hoti eipon). Causal use of hoti and regular form eipon (cf. eipa in Joh 10:34).
I am the Son of God (huios tou theou eimi). Direct quotation again after eipon. This Jesus had implied long before as in Joh 2:16 (my Father) and had said in Joh 5:18-30 (the Father, the Son), in Joh 9:35 in some MSS., and virtually in Joh 10:30. They will make this charge against Jesus before Pilate (Joh 19:7). Jesus does not use the article here with huios, perhaps (Westcott) fixing attention on the character of Son rather than on the person as in Heb 1:2. There is no answer to this question with its arguments.
