Tell me that's not a claim that any observer in any time would not say is blasphemous. That's why they wanted to stone him in the next verse. How is it possible that He got away? Is your defence that this is all fiction?

Doesn't Islam say that Jesus is/was a prophet? Would a prophet blaspheme as this statement "apparently" is so?

Or is God claiming to be God and therefore is NOT blasphemy.?
