Bible Note: I would not be too quick to draw any conclusions that mirror the Pharisees. These men did not even perceive he was the Messiah! Jesus was convicted of sedition, but you don't believe he truly was a seditionist, do you? When Jesus stated that he did nothing of his own originality, but only what the Father taught him, this would have immediately removed any thoughts that Jesus was claiming to be God. They claimed he was making himself equal with God, but Jesus said he was not. (John 14:28) |
