82:6 Ye are gods. This verse was quoted by the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:34) in response to the charge by the Jewish leaders that He was guilty of blasphemy when He claimed to be the Son of God. Their own forebears had been called “children of the most High (i.e., Elyon),” as God’s representatives in judging the people, so it was surely in order for the One whom the Father had specifically “sent into the world” thus to identify Himself.
