The Jews in Jesus’ time were a very religious people. They strongly
believed that there is only one God when other nations around them
believed in many gods, goddesses and demigods. For a Jew to claim that
he is the Son of God, and that the Father is in him and he is in the
Father would deserve to be stoned to death for blasphemy. This was what
the Jews in today’s gospel believed they were doing, stoning a
blasphemer to death.
The Jews were correct when they pointed out that Jesus was a man, for
that is what he is, true man. The Jews were also right when they
accused that Jesus claimed to be God, because that is what he is, true
God.
The Jews were badly mistaken, however, when they considered Jesus as
just a man, and that he blasphemed by claiming that he is God. The
concept of a triune God, with Jesus as God the Son, one with the Father
and the Holy Spirit, is beyond the capability of the Jewish mind to
understand, much less to accept. Jesus himself proclaimed that one
needs grace from the Father to be able to know the Son. This may be
why, while dying on the cross Jesus cried out: “Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do.” We are blessed that the Father granted
us the grace to accept the triune God and to recognize that Jesus is
God the Son.
