Misinterpretations often distort this verse to promote human divinity, claiming it proves people are literal gods or can achieve godhood, overlooking the metaphorical use of 'gods' for authoritative representatives of God in Psalm 82; others use it to undermine Jesus' exclusive deity by equating him with sinful men, or to question Scripture's authority by implying it can be 'broken' or loosely applied, whereas Jesus actually reinforces Scripture's unbreakable truth to elevate his own consecrated sonship above mere human judges.
John 10:35
King James Version (1769)
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Jesus defends his claim to divine sonship by appealing to Psalm 82:6, where human judges or rulers who receive God's word are called 'gods,' arguing that if Scripture—unbreakable and authoritative—applies this title to them without blasphemy, it is far more appropriate for him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, to identify as the Son of God, thereby affirming the infallibility of Scripture and his unique divine commission.
