The whole idea of it was, to them, insanity. So that was their starting point. They weren't thinking of "son" as in a human son, who is related to and in many ways similar to his father, but not "equal". No human being is "equal" to his or her father, except as also being a human being, so it's pointless to even say it. "Son of God" was crazy to the Jews, so off the rails they went. | |

You're breaking the Sabbath, so clearly not the Son of God (who wouldn't violate God's law). 2. And you're claiming to be the Son of God, which is blasphemy if you're not! 3. So you're not only breaking the law about the Sabbath, you're blaspheming! The Jews knew someone was going to be the Son of God, they just didn't think it was Jesus. | |

| May 14, 2021 at 17:20 | comment | added | Only True God | Whatever the Jews meant exactly, the key here is that Jesus explains exactly what the situation is in his extended response. He is a representative, messenger, and has delegated authority from the Father, i.e., God. So if they think that what he's doing and saying warrants death because it's blasphemy, they're wrong. | |
