(Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the Father!”

So again they asked the man who used to be blind, “What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
