A combination of bad translations led by equally bad dogma has led most Christians to misunderstand the real Jewish charge against Jesus in John 10:33. For example, most translations have the Jews answering Jesus:
“For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; and because you, being a man [or a mere man], make yourself out to be [or claim to be] God.”
That is, capital G “God.” But Judaism, then and now would never dream of accusing anyone from actually “claiming to be,” let alone making themselves the one God of Israel.
