67 " If You are the Christ , tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe ; 68 and if I ask a question , you will not answer . 69 " But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of the power OF GOD ." 70 And they all said , "Are You the Son of God , then ?" And He said to them, " Yes, I am ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 22:67-70
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.
