Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
It was a reference to Psalm 82, further context:
“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
“I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
Psalms 82:5-7
