John 10:31-36 CEV Once again the Jewish leaders picked up stones in order to kill Jesus. (32) But he said, "I have shown you many good things that my Father sent me to do. Which one are you going to stone me for?" (33) They answered, "We are not stoning you because of any good thing you did. We are stoning you because you did a terrible thing. You are just a man, and here you are claiming to be God!" (34) Jesus replied: In your Scriptures doesn't God say, "You are gods"? (Exo 7:1-2) (35) You can't argue with the Scriptures, and God spoke to those people and called them gods. (36) So why do you accuse me of a terrible sin for saying that I am the Son of God? After all, it is the Father who prepared me for this work. He is also the one who sent me into the world.
John 10:31-36 GNB Then the people again picked up stones to throw at him. (32) Jesus said to them, "I have done many good deeds in your presence which the Father gave me to do; for which one of these do you want to stone me?" (33) They answered, "We do not want to stone you because of any good deeds, but because of your blasphemy! You are only a man, but you are trying to make yourself God!" (34) Jesus answered, "It is written in your own Law that God said, 'You are gods.' (Exo 7:1-2) (35) We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given. (36) As for me, the Father chose me and sent me into the world. How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am the Son of God?
John 10:31-36 GW The Jews had again brought some rocks to stone Jesus to death. (32) Jesus replied to them, "I've shown you many good things that come from the Father. For which of these good things do you want to stone me to death?" (33) The Jews answered Jesus, "We're going to stone you to death, not for any good things you've done, but for dishonoring God. You claim to be God, although you're only a man." (34) Jesus said to them, "Don't your Scriptures say, 'I said, "You are gods"'? (Exo 7:1-2) (35) The Scriptures cannot be discredited. So if God calls people gods (and they are the people to whom he gave the Scriptures), (36) why do you say that I'm dishonoring God because I said, 'I'm the Son of God'? God set me apart for this holy purpose and has sent me into the world.
John 10:31-36 ESV The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. (32) Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" (33) The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God." (34) Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'? (Exo 7:1-2) (35) If he called them gods to whom the word of God came--and Scripture cannot be broken-- (36) do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
