Jn. 10:33-36 They didn't say it for his good works, yet they called him Beelzebub. They were liars. They charged him falsely with having sin. He said he is the son of God. blaspheme is a sin. They charged him with high sin and therefore death. see Deut. 21:23 and Gal. 3:13 if your hanged on a tree you are a curse. Not if you are innocent and falsely charged with sin. That is therefore the sin put on him, and in turn he received a reproach. reproach means -- shame, rebuke, disgrace. we were sinners before Jesus became our savior. If we sin, we confess and ask forgiveness. 1Jn.1:9 That sin is a reproach and the world points the finger-- that is reproach. If in prayer we apologize God will forgive and reproach is removed from his view.
Ps. 69:9,20 the reproaches have fallen on Christ, that is what came on him not our sins. 2 Cor. 5:21 He was made sin was the charge made of him-- he blasphemes. Because he says he is the son of God. see Matt. 27:40,43. both verses show the people saying come down and saying if you be the son of God. That was reproach-- rebuke shame disgrace. Today they say he was a sinner an had to be born again . If anyone says Jesus blood unclean they are guilty of blasphemy. If done accidentally ask forgiveness and make it right through knowledge of the word.
The leaders real concern was that he was a king and qualified to be a leader instead of them. They always were trying to kill or stop his movement of righteousness. They would try to trap him in his speech or try to set him up by false charges. They were hypocrites. They would make all the laws work to their advantage. They loved the tax money. Also the power lead for advantage. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
