<p>10:33 <i>The Jews answered him: For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself as God- </i>John's Gospel records many interactions between the Lord and the Jews. Every single time they misunderstand Him and wrongly interpret His words and positions, often intentionally in order to make an accusation against Him. And so it is here. Trinitarians have to assume that this time, they got it right- that the Jews correctly interpreted Him; whereas the Lord Himself stated that they did not understand His words (8:43). Not only would such a reading be quite out of step with the emphasis upon the Jews' misunderstandings of the Lord, but He Himself goes on to demonstrate that their claim was inappropriate because men can be called &quot;God&quot;, and He was only claiming to be the<i> Son</i> of God.</p>
