Charles Ellicott Commentary John 10:33

"The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." — John 10:33 (ASV)

The Jews answered him.—Compare the notes on John 10:30 and John 5:18 for the thoughts of this verse.

For a good work . . . but for blasphemy.—The word rendered “for” is not the causal “on account of,” which we have in the last verse, but “concerning,” the technical form for an indictment. For the Mosaic law concerning blasphemy, see Leviticus 24:10-16.
