John 10:30-33
30 I and My Father are one.” 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
Jesus was almost stoned to death because He made himself God by saying He and the Father are one. He equaled Himself with God, and that was blasphemy to the Jews who said there is only one God; they could not accept that God was Father, Son, and Spirit in one God. His nature is not as ours, so we deny this truth. The things Jesus did even proved who Jesus is, yet denial and violence riled against truth, even as it does today.
