DIVINITY OF CHRIST · HUMANNATURE
Jesus the Man
The Tension
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God.
Analysis
Stressing his humanity and the fact that he ‘heard the truth from God’ reveals a clear hierarchy—God as the source, Jesus as the messenger—undermining claims of Jesus’ own divinity.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They say this verse highlights Jesus’ incarnation, not denying his divinity.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Declaring himself as a man who delivers God’s message indicates he is distinct from God and dependent on divine revelation.
