If those people to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ (and the scripture cannot be broken),

But some of them said, “This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?”

Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, “You know nothing at all!
