Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world (on o pathr hgiasen kai apesteilen eiv ton kosmon). Another relative clause with the antecedent (touton, it would be, object of legete) unexpressed. Every word counts heavily here in contrast with the mere judges of Psalms 82:6.
Thou blasphemest (oti blasfhmeiv). Recitative oti again before direct quotation.
Because I said (oti eipon). Causal use of oti and regular form eipon (cf. eipa in verse John 10:34).
I am the Son of God (uiov tou qeou eimi). Direct quotation again after eipon. This Jesus had implied long before as in John 2:16 (my Father) and had said in John 5:18-30 (the Father, the Son), in John 9:35 in some MSS., and virtually in John 10:30. They will make this charge against Jesus before Pilate (John 19:7). Jesus does not use the article here with uiov, perhaps (Westcott) fixing attention on the character of Son rather than on the person as in Hebrews 1:2. There is no answer to this question with its arguments.
