At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves,“ This fellow is blaspheming!”

And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves,“ This man is blaspheming.”

But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves,“ That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?”

At this, some of the scribes said to themselves,“ He’s blaspheming!”

And some of the scribes said to themselves,“ This man is blaspheming!”

And at once some of the scribes said within themselves,“ This Man blasphemes!”

And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

At this, some of the scribes said among themselves,“ He’s blaspheming!”

And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This[ man] blasphemeth.

Then some of the experts in the law said to themselves,“ This man is blaspheming!”

Then the high priest tore his clothes. He said,“ He has spoken a very evil thing against God! Why do we need any more witnesses? You have heard him say this evil thing.

The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to think,“ Who is this fellow who says such an evil thing? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Anyone who speaks evil things against my Name must be put to death. The whole community must kill them by throwing stones at them. It does not matter whether they are an outsider or an Israelite. When they speak evil things against my Name, they must be put to death.

“ We are not throwing stones at you for any good work,” they replied.“ We are stoning you for saying a very evil thing. You are only a man. But you claim to be God.”Jesus answered them,“ Didn’t God say in your Law,‘ I have said you are“ gods” ’?( Psalm 82:6)We know that Scripture is always true. God spoke to some people and called them‘ gods.’If that is true, what about the one the Father set apart as his very own? What about this one the Father sent into the world? Why do you charge me with saying a very evil thing? Is it because I said,‘ I am God’s Son’?

“ You have heard him say a very evil thing against God. What do you think?” They all found him guilty and said he must die.

Some teachers of the law were sitting there. They were thinking,“ Why is this fellow talking like that? He’s saying a very evil thing! Only God can forgive sins!”

Evil thoughts come from the inside, from a person’s heart. So do sexual sins, stealing and murder.

The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. She is a sinner!”Jesus answered him,“ Simon, I have something to tell you.”“ Tell me, teacher,” he said.

Then in secret they talked some men into lying about Stephen. They said,“ We heard Stephen speak evil things against Moses and against God.”So the people were stirred up. The elders and the teachers of the law were stirred up too. They arrested Stephen and brought him to the Sanhedrin.They found witnesses who were willing to tell lies. These liars said,“ This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place. He also speaks against the law.
