Jesus was led before this high council,#22:66 Greek before their Sanhedrin. ⁶⁷and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?”But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. ⁶⁸And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer. ⁶⁹But from now on the Son of Man will be seated in the place of power at God’s right hand.#22:69 See Ps 110:1.” ⁷⁰They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?”And he replied, “You say that I am.” ⁷¹“Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
