7:1). Jesus Christ possessed divine authorization, not
through the word of God transmitted to Him by man, but as an inherent
attribute. The inconsistency of calling human judges "gods," and of
ascribing blasphemy to the Christ who called Himself the Son of God,
would have been apparent to the Jews but for their sin-darkened minds.
