THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 10 - Verse 35

Verse 35. Unto whom the word of God came. That is, who were his servants, or who received their dignity and honour only because the law of God was intrusted to them. The word of God here means the command of God; his commission to them to do justice.

The scripture cannot be broken. See Mt 5:19. The authority of the Scripture is final; it cannot be set aside. The meaning is, \-

"If, therefore, the Scripture uses the word god as

applied to magistrates, it settles the question that

it is right to apply the term to those in office and

authority. If applied to them, it may be to others in

similar offices. It can not, therefore, be blasphemy

to use this word as applicable to a personage so much

more exalted than mere magistrates as the Messiah."
