Perhaps to avoid a charge of blasphemy, Jesus typically spoke of Himself as "The Son, a human being"

Line 3: Line 3:

<blockquote>Those who speak blasphemy "shall surely be put to death". ([[Leviticus]] 24:16)</blockquote>

A false accusation of blasphemy was the charge for which Jesus was ultimately [[crucifixion|crucified]]. Jesus spoke of Himself as ~~the~~ Son of ~~God~~, ~~which the~~ [[Jew]]ish authorities, goaded by the [[Pharisee]]s, ~~considered to be blasphemous and deserving of~~ [[~~death~~]].

A false accusation of blasphemy was the charge for which Jesus was ultimately [[crucifixion|crucified]]. Perhaps to avoid a charge of blasphemy, Jesus typically spoke of Himself as "[[Son of Man|The Son, a human being]]," but [[Jew]]ish authorities, goaded by the [[Pharisee]]s, understood that Jesus was asserting that he was [[God]] and sought the death penalty for blasphemy. They had trouble proving their case based on what Jesus actually said during His ministry.

[[Christianity]] also mentions blasphemy in the [[New Testament]], but not impose a criminal punishment:
