In fact, the following verses seem to demand the idea that he is claiming to be "a god" (though he actually claims to be the son of [the] God): Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? | |

He doesn't seem to rule out the possibility. However, to my mind the absence of a definite article makes it much more likely that he has quality in mind. But again, I'm no expert | |
