67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
67 "If you are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me,
67 "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,
67 They said, "Are you the Messiah?"
67 "If You are the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will by no means believe.
67 and they said, "Tell us, are you the Messiah?" But he replied, "If I tell you, you won't believe me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 22:67
Commentary on Luke 22:63-71
(Read Luke 22:63-71)
Those that condemned Jesus for a blasphemer, were the vilest blasphemers. He referred them to his second coming, for the full proof of his being the Christ, to their confusion, since they would not admit the proof of it to their conviction. He owns himself to be the Son of God, though he knew he should suffer for it. Upon this they ground his condemnation. Their eyes being blinded, they rush on. Let us meditate on this amazing transaction, and consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against himself.
