page 367 note 4 Thus H. J. Holtzmann's explanation of this phrase is hardly adequate; he agrees that ή γραφή in verse 35 must refer to the Psalm quoted, but he thinks it indicates the phrase ‘You are gods’ and suggests that it underlines the permanence (Verbleiben) of this utterance. But in fact the Psalm quoted does not bear this out; far from continuing as gods, they are to the like men. We need a scripture that points towards the eschatological future. (See Holtzmann, H. J., Evangelium, Briefe, and Offenbarung des Johannes, Tubingen, 1918.)Google Scholar
