What about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's son'? — Jesus shifts from the Psalm 82 argument to His own unique status: He has been consecrated and sent by the Father with a specific mission (aposteluō, sent as an apostle). His claim is not identical to that of the judges in Psalm 82 but exceeds it, having unique status and mission. He identifies Himself as 'God's son' (huios tou theou), and the question implicitly asks why this claim, given His unique commission, would be considered blasphemous.
