“Si illos dixit deos, ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi Scriptura :”
“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;”
“If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—”
“If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken),”
“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot 1410, 3756 be broken),”
(1.) How he explains the text (v. 35): He called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken. The word of God's commission came to them, appointing them to their offices, as judges, and therefore they are called gods, Exod 22 28. To some the word of God came immediately, as to Moses; to others in the way of an instituted ordinance. Magistracy is a divine institution; and magistrates are God's delegates, and therefore the scripture calleth them gods; and we are sure that the scripture cannot be broken, or broken in upon, or found fault with. Every word of God is right; the very style and language of scripture are unexceptionable, and not to be corrected, Matt 5 18.
Verses 31-38 Christ's works of power and mercy proclaim him to be over all, God blessed for evermore, that all may know and believe He is in the Father, and the Father in Him. Whom the Father sends, he sanctifies. The holy God will reward, and therefore will employ, none but such as he makes holy. The Father was in the Son, so that by Divine power he wrought his miracles; the Son was so in the Father, that he knew the whole of His mind. This we cannot by searching find out to perfection, but we may know and believe these declarations of Christ.
