# Is it not written ... gods'"?
Jesus uses a question to emphasize that the Jewish leaders should know that this is written in scripture. Alternate translation: "You should already know that it is written ... gods."'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# You are gods
Here Jesus quotes a scripture where God calls his followers "gods," perhaps because he has chosen them to represent him on earth.
