'Jesus was the most revolutionary of God's
messengers. He was the first to defy all the ancient
customs and his audacity in claiming that he was
the son of God and that all human beings are
equally sons and daughters of God was expiated on
the cross. The insistence with which Jesus accentuated
man's divine filiation offended and irritated
the scribes and Pharisees to the point that they
attempted one day to stone him. But Jesus said to
them: "I have shown you many good works from
the Father. For which of these are you going to
stone me?" The Jews answered, "It is not for a
good work that we are going to stone you, but for
blasphemy, because you, though only a human
being, are making yourself God." And then Jesus
reminded them of the verse in the Psalms: Is it not
written in your law, "I said, You are gods"?'
