About this episode
The crowds are ready to stone Jesus for claiming to be divine. In a surprising response, Jesus points out that God refers to people as "gods" in Psalm 82. Whatever reason we might have for such elevated status, Jesus has more. If nothing else, the power of God was on display in him in clear ways, both through his miracles and through his courage in continuing to love even a crowd ready to stone him to death.

For Reflection:
This closing of the first half of John's gospel gives us two reasons for believing in Jesus: the power of God displayed in him and the fulfillment of the words of the prophets.
- The power of God was seen in Jesus through these 7 signs and also in his love even for enemies. How has the power of God displayed in Jesus informed and strengthened your faith? How is God's power displayed in your life?
- The words of John the Baptist (and many other prophets) were fulfilled in Jesus. How do these fulfillments form and inform your faith in Jesus?
