'Jesus was the most revolutionary of God's

messengers. He was the first to defy all the ancient

customs and his audacity in claiming that he was

the son of God and that all human beings are

equally sons and daughters of God was expiated on

the cross. The insistence with which Jesus accentuated

man's divine filiation offended and irritated

the scribes and Pharisees to the point that they

attempted one day to stone him. But Jesus said to

them: "I have shown you many good works from

the Father. For which of these are you going to

stone me?" The Jews answered, "It is not for a

good work that we are going to stone you, but for

blasphemy, because you, though only a human

being, are making yourself God." And then Jesus

reminded them of the verse in the Psalms: Is it not

written in your law, "I said, You are gods"?'
