Impression Jesus Created on Jewish Mind: Accused of Calling Himself the Son of God
The Jews were greatly incensed and inflamed for the reason that Jesus called himself the Son of God which was blasphemy (Matthew, 9:3; 26:65; Mark, 2:7; Luke, 5:21; John, 10:33). Jesus tried to explain as best as he could that it was merely a metaphorical statement. He said that the Most High God even called them gods who communicated the Word of God to the people, saying:
Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the Most High God (Psalms, 82:6).
But the Jews did not accept this interpretation.
