Jesus did not align Himself with the Psalm 82 reference to “gods” He was contrasting the use of Psalm 82 with His authority. Another point is within context they were receivers of The Word, as opposed to the actual Word standing in front of them. This is consistent with John 1.

"Jesus did not align Himself with the Psalm 82 reference to “gods” He was contrasting the use of Psalm 82 with His authority." Sorry, but John 10:34 is quite clear in full context:
"34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?[Psalm 82:6]
35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?
Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?"
Jesus clearly and unequivocally named himself "Son of God", but never claimed to be God Himself, not even in Gospel Writer John's accounting.
